Install Tiki Onto a Windows Computer

Having your Tiki on your computer can allow you to 'play' without harming your online Tiki and become more familiar with the system. This article will tell you how to do it.

Steps

  1. Go to Microsoft.com to download their Web Platform Installer 3.0.
  2. Click on the 'Download It Now' button on the right.
    • This will download the WPI Launcher.
  3. Make your selections for what you want to install. It is probably better to start out one at a time.
  4. Wait for it to install. Depending on what you chose, this can take quite some time.
  5. Once it has done some of the installation, you will start to get a series of screens. Read them carefully, to know what you are doing.
    • After you have done all of this, the next part of the installation will start.
  6. Start filling out the pertinent information for your Tiki.
    • It is a good idea to write down your responses for anything that you enter, unless you have a pretty good memory.
  7. Click on 'Continue'.
  8. Launch your Tiki. Once you have completed all of the necessary info, you will be able to launch your Tiki. It will open into your default web browser.
  9. Validate your Tiki install. You will need to enter in the database name and password.
  10. Read the license agreement and click on 'Continue'.
  11. Check the system requirements. This screen will tell you if your system has what it needs.
  12. Set the database connection. Your install will probably be able to find it, but if you choose, you can modify it.
  13. Populate the database. You will see 'Install' in the center of your screen. Click on it to populate the database.
  14. Review the installation. This lets you know that the installation is complete.
  15. Configure the General Settings. Click 'Continue'.
  16. Choose to lock the installer or not. This screen indicates that your install of Tiki was completely successful.
