EntireX consists of multiple installable components. Some components can be installed alone; some have dependencies on other components. These dependencies are handled automatically by the installation. For example, if you select package EntireX Broker, the EntireX Mini Runtime is installed automatically. This document describes the individual components and any dependencies on other EntireX packages.
Note:
There may be additional dependencies on other products or components, for example infrastructure components, that are not
explicitly listed here.
