# Part 1-Syncfusion Dashboard Server Installation

## Get the Installation Package

{% hint style="info" %}
This instruction assumes you are installing to a server on-premise or that you have already achieved access to the cloud server.

You will need to contact Alemba Support, your Account Manager, or Alemba Professional Services to get the ***SyncfusionDeployment pack*** files.
{% endhint %}

1. Download the package provided to the SF application server to the **Downloads Folder**.
2. Go to the **Downloads folder**
3. **Right-click** on the *<mark style="color:red;">**SyncFusionDeploymentxxx.zip**</mark>* package and **click** **Properties**.

The properties Dialog box should appear

4. On the Properties dialog box, select the **Unblock** tick box&#x20;
5. Click **Apply**
6. Click **OK**, to close the Dialog box
7. **Right-click** the *<mark style="color:red;">**SyncFusionDeploymentxxx.zip**</mark>* file&#x20;
8. Click **Extract**
9. **Extract the folder to the C:\ drive location**.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
For the next steps to be easier/less complex, extract to the root of C:\ and remove any other pre-filled file location in the field.
{% endhint %}

10. Once the Extraction window closes, go to the **Start Menu**, in the bottom left corner of the taskbar&#x20;
11. **Right-click on the start menu icon** and select **Windows-PowerShell (Admin)**
12. When PowerShell opens, navigate to the install folder that you extracted earlier, by running the below command.&#x20;

{% code overflow="wrap" fullWidth="false" %}

```powershell
Cd C:\SyncFusiondeploymentX.X\SyncFusionDashboardServerInstaller.v1.0.13\Packages
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**PLEASE NOTE**: <mark style="color:red;">**X.X**</mark> in the string above should be replaced with the package version name e.g. 8.0 or 9.0, so would end up looking like: *cd C:\SyncFusionDeployment8.0\\.....*
{% endhint %}

13. Run the AlembaDashboardInstall.ps1 file by adding the following code in Powershell and pressing Enter on the keyboard:

```powershell
.\AlembaDashboardInstall.ps1
```

14. Answer the following prompts as they appear:

{% hint style="info" %}
The answer is usually **n.**

**Best Practice**

Do not install Syncfusion on the same server as ASM. The ASM 10.+ Upgrade package removes/deletes the IIS configs for all other web pages on the App server.  This will break ASM. For this reason, SF is never installed on the ASM application server.
