The following sections explain in detail the process of installing the SME Server software.
{{Note box|It is recommnded that a user take note of details in the [[https://wiki.koozali.org/SME_Server:10.0#Installing | Release Notes for SME10 - Installing ]] and in particular the section covering [[https://wiki.koozali.org/index.php?title=SME_Server:10.0&mobileaction=toggle_view_desktop#Known_issues_upgrade_from_SME9 | Known Issues ]]
}}
{{Note box|If you have previously installed and configured a server and are reinstalling the software, please be aware that you should use the procedure described [[#Upgrading_From_A_Previous_Version|here]] in order to preserve your existing configuration and data. Simply performing a new installation will erase all previously existing user accounts, user directories, i-bay contents and web site and configuration parameters. If you have not already done so, you may - depending on the size of the data - wish to back up the contents of your server onto one of your desktop computers. You can do so easily by selecting "Backup or restore" from the server manager, as explained in chapter 10.1.||

Upgrading is somewhat more complex than a clean install on a system as settings and data from the old system need to be preserved. For this reason, we start with the Upgrade procedures.

After showing the boot prompt for some time SME will start the installation process automatically. By default the option to test the installation medium will be selected, and the system will then proceed to the graphical mode install. Alternatively you can select to go directly to the install, either in graphical or text mode.
