Installing on Windows

warning

Although Windows is often used in business environments, we highly recommend using Caesar on Linux.

First, you have to download the latest version (or the version you want to use) from the Website. Save it at any location you want to run later. You have two options on Windows:

• Download the .zip-File like on Linux
• Download the setup.exe file to automatically download and extract all needed files to a directory of your liking.

If you downloaded the zip-File, extract it into the location you want Caesar to be run.

note

We always recommend downloading the latest release version of Caesar. It contains bug fixes and many improvements.

note

If you are using the self-extracting setup.exe file, you may need administrative permissions if you want Caesar to be run in e.g. C:\Program Files\.

Now, you should have the following files and folders in your selected directory:

Caesar-Server.jar
start.bat

Run start.bat to start your Caesar Server. It will create all further folders during setup.
