2. Extract this folder to anywhere you want SmartCollect SC² to run from.

3. Start SmartCollect SC² by executing smartcollect-server.exe, located in the bin directory, preferably from the command line. If you want to run SmartCollect SC² as a Windows service, then download NSSM. It is very easy to add SmartCollect SC² as a Windows service using that tool.

To run SmartCollect SC², open your browser and go to the SmartCollect SC² port (https://localhost is default) and then follow the instructions in Getting Started.

Note: The default SmartCollect SC² port is 443. Make sure there is no other web application using that port.

1. Go into the conf directory and copy sample.ini to custom.ini. Note: You should edit custom.ini, never defaults.ini.
2. Edit custom.ini and uncomment the http_port configuration option (; is the comment character in ini files) and change it to something like 8080 or similar. That port should not require extra Windows privileges. Read more about the configuration options.
