2. Install the Engine

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). To do so open a Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\ and create those new folders. Then, navigate to your temporary download folder and copy the file 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 the Extract button. After the AxonIvyEngine*.zip is extracted navigate into the new AxonIvyEngine folder. The content of the installation folder looks like this:

Hint

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

  • bin folder contains all the executables

  • configuration folder contains the configuration files.
