DryvIQ Platform Initial Installation
On This Page
Overview
DryvIQ provides an installation wizard that walks you through the installation and configuration process. All you have to do is provide the necessary setup or configuration information when prompted. Before you begin, ensure your system meets the basic requirements and that you have the proper server configurations enabled as outlined in the Infrastructure and Hardware Requirements. Also, make sure you review and complete the preliminary setup information provided on this page to ensure successful installation.
The installation instructions follow installation for the recommended embedded PostgreSQL database. If you prefer to use Microsoft SQL for the database, you will follow the database setup outlined on the Configure Microsoft SQL Server page at step 13 to set up your database. If you prefer to use a hosted PostgreSQL database, you will follow the database setup outlines on the Configure Hosted PostgreSQL Database page at step 13 to set up your database.
If Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable version 14.14.26405 or greater is installed on the machine where you are installing DryvIQ, the installer will stop due to an error that the vcredist_64.exe ended with an error exit code. You will need to uninstall Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable and restart the machine before you can install DryvIQ.
Some parts of the installation reference “SkySync.” This is expected.
