Installing Contract Manager

This section describes steps that you must take to install Contract Manager as a separate component.

You can find the AddContractManager.exe installation tool in the <deploy root>\KCM\Programs\<version>\Management folder.

How the tool works

AddContractManager.exe works as follows:

It checks the requirements needed for the Contract Manager installation.

If the check fails, the installation quits.
It installs the Contract Manager, but doesn't finish the configuration yet.

To install Contract Manager, you must execute the following steps:

Open the command line interface (CLI). It could be PowerShell or Command Prompt.
In the CLI, navigate to the <deploy root>\KCM\Programs\<version>\Management folder.
Call the AddContractManager.exe file and provide the necessary parameters. The order of parameters is irrelevant. See an example of the call below:
```
AddContractManager.exe Services!Password=testpassword
```
To simplify input, you can create a script with the required parameter values and then use it to run AddContractManager.exe.

If everything is correct, the installation will run without errors. You will be able to follow the installation process by reading the CLI output.

If the installation fails, then the unfinished deployment must be removed manually using RemoveContractManager.exe tool described in the Uninstall Contract Manager section of this guide.
