3. Install the Engine (Windows)

We suggest that you install the Axon Ivy Engine into a new folder called ivy\engine on one of your drives (e.g., c:\ivy\engine). Open a Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\ and create those new folders.

Then, navigate to the folder that contains your downloaded engine ZIP archive and copy AxonIvyEngine*.zip to the newly created folder.

Right click the AxonIvyEngine*.zip file and press Extract All … from the context menu.

On the appearing dialog, press button Extract. After the extraction completes, navigate into the new folder AxonIvyEngine. The content of the installation folder looks like this:

Hint

The most important folders in the Axon Ivy Engine installation folder are:

  • folder bin contains all the executables

  • folder configuration contains the configuration files.
