The instructions below tell you how to install the standalone distribution of Crowd, which includes Apache Tomcat. You may wish to deploy a WAR distribution of Crowd or CrowdID 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. 

Installing Crowd (Standalone Distribution)

  1. Download Crowd.
  2. Please check your unzip program before extracting the downloaded archive – see the note on the Crowd installation front page.
  3. 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}.
  4. (Optional) If you wish to set up Crowd and/or CrowdID with an external database, see:
  5. Run the start-up script: 
    • start_crowd.bat for Windows;
