h1. RHQ Server Installation
The RHQ Server can run on either a Windows or UNIX platform. The basic install steps you need to perform is to unzip the distribution, run the server's launcher script to start it, and then go through a very simple installation web application to complete the install.
# If you already have a RHQ Server installed and you need to upgrade it, go to [Upgrading the Server].
# It is recommended you read through the [High Availability] documentation. This will help you decide if you need high availability features and if so, how many RHQ Servers you should install and how you should configure them.
# Before you install your RHQ Server, read [RHQ Server Installation Preparation] to prepare your environment.
# After you are familiar with the high availability features and you've prepared your environment for the RHQ Server, go through the [Running the Installer] documentation to get your RHQ Server installed.
# After the server has been installed and configured, you can run it as a Windows service, from a console, or run it as a daemon or init.d script in a UNIX environment. Go to [Running the RHQ Server] for more information.
