Selecting the installation location

This procedure describes selecting the location for the installation. The program provides the default location which you can change if you wish. It also provides options to use this instance of Workbench as an installation tool and to install PDF versions of all documentation.

Perform the following steps:

In the installation window, accept the default destination folder or if desired, click Browse to navigate to a different folder.

The default location is C:\niagara\niagara-4.x.nnn (where nnn is the build number). If needed, you can directly edit the folder path (for example, changing the drive from C: to D:), or click Browse and navigate to another folder.

NOTE: If you change the default destination folder, you can click the Refresh button to recalculate the Space Required and Space Available values.
Accept or deselect, as needed, the two options that are selected by default:
- This instance of Workbench will be used as an installation tool — Typically, you leave this selected.
  This option installs additional files that allow the installation to be used to commission controllers. Always select this option for any Supervisor host. This option installs the distribution (dist) files in the appropriate folders under the Niagara 4 version (software) folder. Using a platform connection, these files allow you to commission, or provision, a remote host to the same revision and build level as this Niagara installation.
- Install Documentation — Installing this documentation requires additional disk storage. It is not required for any functions, but it is recommended for reference information.
  This option installs PDF versions of the help files, hardware installation guides, and other manuals, which are available as PDFs, in the!docs folder.
  
  NOTE: These are the same PDFs that are in the !docs folder of the zipped distribution file (or CD).
Click Next to proceed.
