Business Edition Installation

Unlike with the Enterprise Edition, the Business Edition only requires you to run one installation. The Business Edition installation combines the Community Edition with the extra features that comprise the Business Edition all in one installer.

As for other editions of KonaKart, there is a graphical version and a command line version. Both use the same installation file which is named according to the target platform:

Note that if the GUI or silent installers do not work on your platform you should download the zip version and follow the manual installation instructions.

Take Careful Note: The installation can be configured to execute SQL commands that will change data in your database. Ensure that you have saved a backup of your database before you begin the installation just in case you have to revert.

Installing KonaKart Business Edition on Windows

Run the set-up program that executes a graphical installation wizard almost identical in appearance to the Community installation.

You can use the "Silent Mode" installation if you prefer, but the graphical version is probably easier if you're installing for the first time.

Installing KonaKart Business Edition on Unix/Linux

Create a terminal session on your machine and enter the following: (You may prefer to use commands to do the same thing from your X-desktop if you have one installed).


$# (replace 8.9.0.0 with the version you wish to install)
$ chmod +x KonaKart-Business-8.9.0.0-Linux-Install-64      

If you have a graphical environment on your Linux/Unix machine you will be able to run the GUI. In which case see the Graphical Installation Wizard below (identical steps to the Windows installation).

If you don't have a graphical environment you will see this warning message:

Silent Mode Installation of the Business Edition

When running in "silent" (-S) (or "unattended") mode you are able to specify configuration parameters on the command line, for example:


$ ./KonaKart-Business-9.2.0.0-Linux-Install-64 -S                  \
                  -DDatabaseType mysql                             \
                  -DDatabaseDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver           \
                  -DSharedCustomers True                           \
                  -DEngineMode 2                                   \
                  -DLoadDB 1                                       \
                  -DJavaJRE "/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/"   \
                  -DMago 1                                         \
                  -DMagoSQLFilename /usr/local/konakart/custom.sql
                  

In the above example you can see the two optional parameters for "Mago" installations. The first (-DMago) instructs the installer to set-up KonaKart ready for a Mago Integration. The second (-DMagoSQLFilename) allows you to run any custom SQL that you wish to run after the Mago integration installation has been completed.
