The general procedure to deploy Creatio on-site is as follows:

1. Deploy the Creatio caching server (Redis). Read more >>>
2. Deploy the database. Note that this step is DBMS-dependent. Read more >>>
3. Enable and install the required Windows components. Read more >>>
4. Install the latest Windows updates.
5. Create and set up the application website using IIS. Read more >>>
6. Modify the ConnectionStrings.config file. Note that this step is DBMS-dependent. Read more >>>
7. Modify the Web.config file. Read more >>>

After installing Creatio, perform additional setup to ensure correct operation of all its components.

• Set up websockets. Read more >>>
• Switch Creatio from HTTP to HTTPS. Read more >>>
• Deploy and set up global search in Creatio. Read more >>>
• Set up the machine learning service. Read more >>>

5. Deploy the Creatio application server. Read more >>>

If you are going to run Creatio directly on the local machine:

1. Install .NET 6, a GDI+ compatible API for UNIX-like operating systems, and development libraries and header files for GNU C. Read more >>>
2. Run the Creatio application server. Read more >>>

If you are going to run Creatio in a Docker container:

1. Make Redis accessible from the Docker container. Read more >>>
2. Install Docker. Read more >>>
3. Create a Dockerfile. Read more >>>
4. Build and run the Docker image. Read more >>>

note

The procedure for running a PostgreSQL server in Docker is covered in the Docker documentation.
