You can install a Coordinator without an Agent on your local machine. If required, you can install an Agent on the same machine at a later stage.

> To install a Coordinator without an Agent:

  1. On the machine that will host the Coordinator, double-click IncrediBuild Setup file.
    IncrediBuild Setup wizard appears.

  2. On the Welcome page of the Setup wizard, click Next:

  3. On the Setup Options page, select Install IncrediBuild. Then, click Next:

    Note: The Create Automated Installer option allows you create a setup file for a silent installation. For more information, see Silent Installation

  4. On the License Agreement page, read the terms of the agreement, and confirm them by selecting the I accept the terms of the license agreement check box. Then, click Next:

  5. On the Installation Options page, perform the following:

    • Select the Custom option on the left.

    • Clear the IncrediBuild Agent check box.

    • Verify that the IncrediBuild Coordinator check box is selected.
      Then, click Next:

  6. On the Coordinator Network Settings page, accept the default values or set the following configurations for the installed Coordinator:

    • TCP/IP port field - select the TCP/IP port to be used by the installed Coordinator for the communication with the Agents. If there is a conflict between your network and the default port number, change the default value to a different port number.

    • Automatically open the selected port on Windows Firewall if necessary check box - when this option is selected, if the port number that is specified for the TCP/IP port of the Coordinator is closed in your firewall, IncrediBuild will automatically open it.

      Once you verified the Coordinator network settings, click Next.

  7. On the Destination Folder Selection page, leave the default settings or perform the following:

    • Destination Folder field - if you want to change IncrediBuild installation folder, click the Browse button, and select your desired installation location.

    • Add folder to the system PATH environment variable checkbox - it is recommended to leave this check box selected, in order to ensure that there is a direct link from the CLI to IncrediBuild tools, eliminating the need to specify the full path of their installation folder.

      Once you verified the destination folder selection, click Next.

  8. On the Ready to Install page, click Next to start the installation of the Coordinator and Agent on your local machine:

    The installation process begins, and a progress bar appears, informing you of the progress of the installation:

    Once the installation is finished, the License Installation page appears.

  9. On the License Installation page, you can either load your license to activate IncrediBuild, or postpone the license loading to a later stage, and complete the Coordinator installation without a license:

    • To load your license now - select the I received an email with a license and would like to install it option.
      Note: Before loading your license, verify that the machine hosting the Coordinator is connected to the internet, in order to register the license.
      After you selected to load your license now, click the Browse button to locate your License File and load it. Once the License File is loaded, you receive a confirmation that your license is loaded successfully, and the details of your license appears on the page:

    • To load your license later – select the I didn't receive a license to my mailbox option.
      Note: For more information on loading the license after the Coordinator installation, see Activating Your License
      Then, click Next.

  10. The Install complete page appears, confirming that the selected IncrediBuild components have been successfully installed:

    Click Finish to exit the Setup wizard.

The Coordinator is now installed on your local machine.
