Installing and Uninstalling Natural Screen Tester

This document covers the following topics:

See Installing Natural Screen Tester from an Image File and also Prerequisites for information on license keys, hardware and software requirements.


Typical Development Installation

The Software AG Installer offers typical development installations of products that enable you to perform a certain task. When you select a typical development installation, the installer automatically selects all products and components that make up that installation. You can select more products or deselect products if desired. The typical development installation for this product is called Natural Screen Tester.

To create production environments, work with your administrators, Software AG Global Consulting Services, and best practices documentation.

Install Natural Screen Tester

Start the Installer and Provide General Information

Read the requirements in Using the Software AG Installer (for example, the requirement to create a user account that has the proper privileges for Windows and that is non-root for UNIX). Follow the instructions in that guide to start the installer and provide general information such as proxy server, release to install, installation directory, and how to use the product selection tree.

Important:
Unless otherwise stated for a specific product, do not install products from this release into a Software AG directory that contains products from any other release. Unless otherwise stated for a specific product, you cannot mix products from different releases in the same installation directory; if you do so, you will experience problems or be unable to access functionality.

On the product tree, choose Natural Screen Tester.

The installer then displays panels (GUI mode) or prompts (console mode) that ask for product configuration information. Most are self-explanatory, so this section shows only the panels that require explanation. The information and fields on the prompts is identical to the information and fields on the panels.

Here is a list of default port numbers for Natural Screen Tester. These may be changed during installation.

Server port 3323
SSL port 33443
HTTP port 3380
Admin port 3323
AJP port 3323

Important:
Make sure all ports you specify on panels or in response to prompts are not already being used by other products on your machine. The installer cannot detect whether ports are in use when products are shut down, and the shutting down of products is a requirement for running the installer. See list of default ports used by Software AG products available in Empower.

Supply Product Configuration Information

If you are installing the Natural Screen Tester Server, the installer ask for information such as licence file and ports.

Complete the Installation

Install Latest Fixes

Install the latest fixes on the products you installed. For instructions on using the Software AG Update Manager, see Using the Software AG Update Manager. Each fix includes a readme file that contains instructions on installing the fix.

Start the Natural Screen Tester

See First Steps for information on starting Natural Screen Tester and recording your first unit test.

Important:
If any product you installed has a default password, you should change that password as soon as possible. For instructions, see the product documentation.

Uninstall Natural Screen Tester

Follow the instructions in Using the Software AG Installer, with the additional guidelines below.

If you are going to uninstall Software AG Designer Eclipse, and you want to review or preserve Eclipse installation information, do so before starting the uninstaller, because the uninstaller will delete the entire Software AG Designer installation directory. Usercreated data that is stored in other directories, such as your workspace, will remain untouched.
