Introduction

Introduction
MIKE INFO can be deployed in a number of different ways ranging from a personal
installation to an enterprise installation including both a desktop and web solution.
1.

Personal installation, which allows users to work with MIKE INFO in a network
independent mode on his desktop;

2.

Enterprise installation, which allows for an office to have multiple installations(clients)

all working against a central database;

3.

Web installation, which allows for an organisation to service MIKE INFO data over
the Internet

This installation guide describes the installation process for all the three deployment
patterns.

Installation Guide - DHI

Installation Prerequisites and Post Configuration

Installation Prerequisites and Post Configuration

MIKE INFO depends on a number of prerequisites as listed below.
1.

A PostgreSQL database server with the PostGIS spatial database extension.

The installation of this component is described in:
Section 4: Installing PostgreSQL.

2.

A MIKE Zero 2016, MIKE SDK 2016 or DHI Timeseries Package 2016 installation. In
case none of those are installed before running the MIKE INFO 2016 installation, the
DHI Timeseries Package 2016 will be installed together with MIKE INFO 2016.

3.

The DHI Software License application (not required when doing a Personal
installation). The MIKE INFO 2016 installation program will silently install this
component if not already installed.

It will typically also be necessary to perform some post-installation configuration. This

includes configuring the PostgreSQL database server for remote connections (only
required with Enterprise installation), configuring the Windows Firewall for allowing
connections on the PostgreSQL communication port and finally for installing a DHI license
file.
These configuration operations are described in:

Section 5: Configuring the PostgreSQL Database Server

Section 6: Configuring the Windows Firewall, and

Section 7: Installing a DHI License File.
