This option is selected by default, and recommended.

This option is selected by default. Any Supervisor installation, or engineering workstation PC that is licensed to run a local station requires that you start the platform daemon.

Installing the platform daemon automatically stops and replaces any other running platform daemon with the platform daemon from this release. Also, at any time you can install and start the platform daemon from any installed Niagara build, using the Start menu shortcut: Install Platform Daemon.

The platform daemon runs as a Windows service. To verify that it is running, from a command prompt, type: services.msc and press Enter. In the Services window, double-click on the Niagara named service to see details, such as the software release and build number.

This option is selected by default when the installer detects daemon data in an earlier version. When selected, the installer copies from the earlier version the stations, templates, and other files needed for the stations to run.
