==Hardware Requirements==
* Ethernet card
* Minimum memory configuration: 8GB DDR3 RAM
* Minimum disk requirement: 4TB 2TB hard disk
===Database Server===
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard database setup files (Dolcera_Dashboard_Database_vxxx.zip) to the database server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative
# Unzip the files in a folder of your choice (e.g. /tmp folder)
# Create a new database named "''dolcera" '' # Run the file dolcera_dashboard_setup.sql to create the tables and other database objects# The : the setup script will create the database, also populate the master data for the database, and create a ''dolcerauser '' with privileges to change the data in the database, but not to alter the database; this user account will be used by the web application
====Web Application Server====
# Download the Dolcera Dashboard installation package (Dolcera_Dashboard_vxxx.zip) to the web application server from the location provided by the Dolcera representative
# Unzip the folder in any directory (e.g. /tmp)
# Install Move the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder to the virtual machines folder on the web application server (e.g. /var/lib/vmware)# Create a new vmware virtual machine instance for the Dolcera Dashboard on a # Point the new vmware virtual machine instance to the dolcera_dashboard_vm folder of your choice on # Set the network preferences for the virtual machine to bridged networking# Launch the new virtual machine# Log in with the root password supplied by the Dolcera representative# Change the database IP address setting as appropriate in the /srv/httpd/htdocs/dashboard/config/config.ini file# Assign a fixed IP address for the vmware instance and note this IP address# Once the software installation is complete, log into the web application server:#* URL: http://''ipaddress_of_web_application_server''/auth/#* Username: admin#* Password: admin (you will be able to change the password thereafter)
===Configuration ParametersSetting up the Environment===Once the software installation is complete, log * Log into the application:URL: http://localhost/auth/as an administrator as described aboveUsername: admin* Click on the link to the "Admin Interface"Password: admin (you will be able * Create a new project* Create a new group and assign the project to this group* Create a new user and assign this user to the new group* Create a new dashboard and add the dashboard to change the password thereafter)project
===Setting up Users===
===Best Practices===
====Server Setup====# Latest database The vmware virtual machine based installation of the web application server is designed for ease of installation and management# If vmware is not preferred, a different installer will be provided to run the web application directly on the server patchesoperating system# Database backup Apply the latest database and recovery optionsoperating system patches on the servers#Change the admin password at regular intervals  # Set up the database for backup on a nightly basis==FAQ==User Management====# Remove users once they leave the company # Assign access to dashboard workfiles to users individually# Limit the access for the administrator role
