Prerequisites

Prerequisites require only configuration of Windows OS. Prerequisites can be installed by configuring Windows OS either interactively or by using PowerShell script.

Important

.NET Framework 4.8 Runtime must be installed before installation of all other Windows OS prerequisites.

The easiest way to ensure prerequisites are met is to launch PowerShell script installed as part of the Sentinet Samples installation feature and located by default in C:\Program Files\Nevatech6\Sentinet\Samples\Installation\Scripts folder. Run as administrator Prerequisites.cmd from command prompt, which launches Prerequisites.ps1 script.

The rest of this chapter describes User Interactive configuration of Windows OS with the required prerequisites for each individual Sentinet component.
