This section covers everything specific to running the iGrafx platform on your own servers: installing it, configuring it after deployment, keeping it running, and moving it to iGrafx Cloud. A new installation has four main steps:

1. Set up the database that holds the platform's repositories.
2. Deploy the application server.
3. Connect the platform to the database and complete setup.
4. Create a repository in Platform Administration.

Some steps, such as configuring a proxy, are optional, depending on your infrastructure. Others overlap with day-to-day platform administration.
