Install FrameMaker Publishing Server

To install FMPS, perform the following steps:

Important: Before installing FrameMaker Publishing Server or any update, clean the MongoDB instance. This is required to fix some critical security issues.
  1. Run the FMPS installer. The following Installation Options dialog appears:



  2. Based on your deployment strategy, you can choose to:

    • Install only the server component (for horizontal scaling)
    • Install only the client component and FrameMaker (for horizontal scaling)
    • Install all components (for vertical scaling)

    If you want to install only the server component, then choose only the second component - Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server Component.

    If you want to install only the client components, then choose the first and the third options - Adobe FrameMaker and Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Client Component.

  3. If you want to change the default install location, click the Browse icon next to the Location field and select a new destination.

  4. Click Continue.

    The selected FMPS components are installed on the system.

  5. Once the installation in complete, click Close.

Important: By default, on completion of the installation process, FrameMaker Publishing Server and client are launched. It is configured to work in case you have installed all components on a single system (vertical scaling). However, if you have deployed FMPS on multiple systems (horizontal scaling), then you will have to configure FMPS server and client components to work correctly.

Next, you need to customize the server and client components before you can start using FrameMaker Publishing Server. The following sections will guide you through the configuration and customizations that you need to perform.
