Installing MarkVision Professional

• Windows Web package
• Mac OS X Web package
• UNIX Web package (Java runtime environment is required)
When you are installing the MarkVision components, a dialog will appear that shows the hierarchy in
which the different components can be installed. You can install the MarkVision application and the
MarkVision Server separately; the application only requires that one instance of the MarkVision
Server be installed somewhere on the network, not necessarily on the same machine.
Note: For Windows based operating systems, you must also be sure to select the parent
branches in the hierarchy if you want to include any items located in a sub-branch.
Installation notes
In order to run the Web Client, you must first enable your web browser to support Sun’s Java
Runtime Environment (JRE) by installing the Java Plug-in. In Windows environments, the plug-in is
provided and the user is automatically prompted to install it the first time they run the MarkVision
Web Client.
Note: The MarkVision Client program does not require the installation of the browser
plug-in.
The MarkVision Web Server is automatically installed along with the MarkVision Server.
MarkVision Professional relies on technology that is specific to the web server that it provides, so it is
not possible to use other web servers to make MarkVision available. During installation, you are
given the choice to make the MarkVision web server the default server on the machine. This allows
the browser-based application to access the server from the standard port (80), which requires no
additional numbering in the URL. When this option is rejected, the MarkVision Web Server listens for
HTTP requests on a non-standard port (9180) that should not interfere with any other existing web
servers.
Note: If another web server is listening on port 80, the option to have the MVP Server
listen on the default web port (80) is not present.
As an administrator, if you already have a department or corporate web server on which you want to
publish the URL to access MarkVision Professional or Messenger, we recommend that you create a
URL on your current web server that automatically forwards the user’s browser to the URL used by
either tool.
