Installing SmartFoxServer Pro

The installation process is different from SmartFoxServer for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

Installing on Windows

1. Run the installer SFSPRO_win_1.6.6.exe.
2. When asked for the installation path we change the install path to any directory under the user folder, such as C:\Users\username\SmartFoxServerPRO_1.6.6.

   Note

   We change the installation path instead of the default path under Program Files because latest Windows requires administrator privileges to change the files.

Installing on Mac OSX

1. After downloading the SmartFoxServer, it will be automatically mounted.
2. Open the Applications folder.
3. Drag the SmartFoxServer Pro 1.6.6 folder into Applications.

Installing on Linux

1. Launch the terminal from Applications | Accessories | Terminal.
2. Go to the enclosing folder of the SFSPRO_linux_1.6.6.tar.gz.
3. Type following command in the terminal to decompress the tar:

   tar zxf SFSPRO_linux_1.6.6.tar.gz
