[https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=9016 HansR] on support forum has developed an multi-platform installer, see [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18916 Multiplatform Installer for CumulusMX] which makes life a lot easier if you do not wish to dive into the (file level contents) internals of CumulusMX.
 
#Copy the contents of the '''[https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=150084#p150084 InstallCMX.exezip]''' to any directory you want, on the drive where you wish to install (or have previously installed) MX.
#Copy the CumulusMX release distribution zip(s) to that same directory, if you have not already done so. You may have more than one distribution in the same directory.
#*The install procedure gives you the possibility to select, or define, the Archive to install, and the location where to install.
#Stop CumulusMX
#Run '''InstallCMX''' and confirm / fill in (on the console) where you wish to install (or update) CMX. The default for Windows is C:\CumulusMX\ and for Linux it is : /home/CumulusMX or /opt/CumulusMX in case of an ''image install''. The Installation directory can be modified.
#* You can give the '''build number''', for the release distribution zip, to install as command line '''argument'''.
#Start CumulusMX
 
'''NOTE:''' On Windows you run the installerit as any other command linecommandline executable and it is best to open a command window in which you start the installer. On Linux you run it on the command linecommandline as "mono ./InstallCMX.exe", theor mono"dotnet command./InstallCMX.dll". canNote bethat omittedon ifwindows monoyou iscan already active (e.g. if youalso run CumulusMX as a service, and stop it, mono remains active)./InstallCMX.exe
'''NOTE:''' In an existing installation with modified files, make sure those are in a different, either filename or folder (a safe place). If they have the same name as files in the distribution, they will be overwritten.
'''NOTE:''' Check in the <code>webfiles</code> directory to see if any files there have been modified, since your last upload to your web server. If so, move those new files to the website.
 
After the installation, there is a '''log file'''. Check the log file to see everything has gone well.
There is also an '''ini file''' where you can control:
* NormalMessageToConsole=true or (default) NormalMessageToConsole=false
* TraceInfoLevel=Warning (out of: Error, Warning, Info, Verbose, None)
Any reactions (thank you, issues and questions) please post in the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=18916 download thread of the installer].
 
Modifications and additions on user request can be discussed (e.g. think about automated start/stop, upload of webfiles to the directory etc....), use the talk for this page and create a post in the above thread.
