Installation: Manual Setup

By default, when Server is started using run.ps1 (or run.sh) script. It will open a browser with a Setup Wizard which will guide you through the Server configuration process.

The setup is started because the default configuration file settings.json used in the RavenDB Server package looks like this:

{
    "ServerUrl": "http://127.0.0.1:0",
    "Setup.Mode": "Initial",
    "DataDir": "RavenData"
}

Which means that the Server will run:

• In Setup Wizard mode
• On localhost with a random port
• Store the data in RavenData directory.

Disabling 'Setup Wizard'

To disable the 'Setup Wizard' please change the Setup.Mode configuration to None or remove it completely.

Server Url and Port

Setting the ServerUrl to http://127.0.0.1:0 will bind the server to a localhost with a random port. For manual setup we suggest changing the port to a non-random value e.g. 8080.
