Before you begin an installation of Isogen Web API, you must have the required environment ready. Verify the prerequisites listed below before proceeding.
-
Web server - Isogen Web API runs as a web application, so you must have a web server running and configured. The web server is where you install Isogen Web API. This server should have the following:
-
PDF reader - needed to review and accept the software license agreement and view printable guides
-
Operating system - Windows Server 2016 or Windows 10
-
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 (or later) - setup prompts you to install if needed
-
Internet Information Services 10.0 (or later) - configured for API use
-
SSL certificate - the web server must have an SSL certificate installed
-
-
Database server - Isogen Web API relies on a relational database backend, so you must have access to a database with one of the supported database providers:
-
Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (or later)
-
Microsoft SQL Server Express
-
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 (or later)
-
If you have an existing SQL Server installation, you can use it for Isogen Web API.
-
If you are installing a new SQL Server instance, we recommend using Windows authentication to control database access.
-
The connection information for the SQL Service instance (for example, "server\sqlexpress") is required when configuring Isogen Web API.
-
When configuring Isogen Web API, you must use an account with database administration rights on the SQL Server instance in order to create databases and tables.
