Install
Api2File is easy to install, meaning you will be up and running in minutes.
OS Specific executables
If you have downloaded Api2File for Windows or Linux the installation procedure is the same. The commands you need to use and where you ultimately install Api2File to will differ between Windows and Linux.
Installation Steps
Unzip the Api2File archive to a suitable location on your host/server.
On Windows, we recommend installing Api2File into a directory within the
Program Files
directory. You can use the built-in zip file capability of Windows to extract the files to your chosen directory.On Linux, we recommend a directory under
/opt
such as/opt/api2file
. Use a compression tool such asunzip
to decompress the file archive into the target directory.Ensure Api2File has decompressed correctly by running the
Api2File.Device.Cli
executable from the installation directory chosen in step 1.On Windows, use a Command prompt to change into the installation directory. Use the command
Api2File.DeviceId.Cli.exe
.On Linux, use the
cd
command to change to the installation directory, then run the./Api2File.DeviceId.Cli
application.The output from the application will be printed to the screen. A successful run will list the Device Identifier for the current host/server, which can be used to generate a license file for Api2File .
