Installing KCM Instance

This section describes steps that you must take to install KCM instance as a separate component.

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

How the tool works

This section describes how the InstallInstance.exe tool works.

It checks the requirements needed for the KCM instance installation.
If the check fails, the installation quits.
It installs the software of KCM instance but does not complete its configuration yet.

To install KCM instance, execute the following steps:

Open the command line interface (CLI). It could be PowerShell or Command Prompt.
In the CLI, navigate to the folder where the installation tool is located.
Call the AddInstance.exe file and provide the necessary parameters. The order of parameters is irrelevant. See the example of the call below:
```
AddInstance.exe Services!Password=testpassword Instance!Number=1
```
To simplify input, you can create a script with the required parameter values and then use it to run AddInstance.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 RemoveInstance.exe tool described in the Uninstall instance section of this guide.
