2. Installing Crowd and CrowdID

This documentation applies to Crowd version 1.1.x. The latest Crowd documentation is available via this link.

The instructions below tell you how to install the standalone version of Crowd, which includes Apache Tomcat. You may wish to deploy Crowd on your own existing application server instead.

Note: Crowd versions 1.1 and later include CrowdID. Installing Crowd, as described below, will also install CrowdID.

Download Crowd.
Unzip the download archive into a directory of your choice (note: do not specify directory names that contain spaces).
This directory will be referred to as {CROWD_INSTALL}.
(Optional) If you wish to setup Crowd and/or CrowdID with an external database, see:
Run the start-up script:
- start_crowd.bat for Windows;
  or:
- start_crowd.sh for Unix environment.
Point a web browser at http://localhost:8095/ where you will see the Setup Wizard.
