Installation
This chapter describes the single node installation of an ARIS server using the Windows setup program. For further information, read the relevant documents on the ARIS Documentation website or download them from ARIS Download Center.
To install ARIS server on Linux systems, the ARIS agent must be provided first. The required files are available in the installation folder <ARIS_Installation_and_Documentation-<version>>\Linux setup that you can download from the ARIS Download Center (login required). After you have copied and installed the files, you must start the remote installation from a Windows system. If you do not want to run the setup remotely from a Windows machine, you must execute all required steps manually using ARIS Cloud Controller. For more information on manual setup, refer to the ARIS Distributed Installation Cookbook.
If you run an ARIS server Windows setup remotely, the following components are installed:
ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC)
ARIS agent
ARIS server*
Viewer *
Designer *: The functionalities workflows‚ Share model, Change request and Approve model are available using an ARIS server license. For full ARIS Process Governance functionality, you need to purchase and import an ARIS Process Governance license.
ARIS download client: Authorized users can start ARIS download clients within their browsers. All necessary files are downloaded from the ARIS server to a local directory. Users do not need a local ARIS client installation.
The default tenant for all user data.
The master infrastructure tenant.
ARIS Risk and Compliance (optionally): The installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide (see ARIS installation package).

*The functional range depends on the server license that you have purchased (see ARIS Product Feature Matrix). Read the documents on the ARIS Documentation website or download them from the ARIS Download Center.
You can install ARIS server along with ARIS Risk and Compliance on one machine. The ARIS Risk and Compliance installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide. For advanced installations, it is strongly recommended that you request an installation service from ARIS Professional Services. This is of particular importance when you intend to install ARIS across several computers/VMs (distributed installation). A scenario this specific requires in-depth knowledge of the technical infrastructure and environment. This information cannot be included in the product documentation and must be obtained through specialized training. Contact your ARIS representative for more information.
Setup activities are logged in the files %temp%\ARIS_install_log and %temp%\aris_install_full.log.
