Deployment

On this page, you’ll learn:

  • Kinds of deployment (or installation methods).

  • What are the suitable deployment types.

macOS Installation

OSX and macOS are used interchangeably.

Windows Installation

In Windows Installation, there are two kinds of installation techniques, manual and silent installation.

Manual Installation

In Manual installation, this method of installation is good for users who are using StoryServer on their personal computers, or have limited Administrator rights on their computer, or want to create a USB version to use on many computers without subsequent installation.

Enterprise Installation

Silent installation is an automated process used in Networked environments with multiple computers. It is the fastest way to deploy and uninstall StoryServer with minimal downtime.

Which method is right for me?

  • If you are going to install it on your own computers, it will take less than a minute at most and Manual installation is more appropriate.

  • If you are going to install on many computers, it’ll be a hassle to manually install StoryServer on many computers, unless you want to spend time on each computer installing one-by-one. Thus, Silent installation or Enterprise Deployment is more appropriate.
