This section describes the pre-installation setup needed before
running the installer.
- Installation role (required). You must install the software as
an administrative-level user.
- International data support (required). You must configure the
web browser and your database to support the UTF-8 character set before
installing Build Forge.
- Set up a database (required). Set up a database for use with Build
Forge. You typically need to create database objects (including a
database user and password), install database clients on the host
where Build Forge runs, and assemble information that you are prompted
for during Build Forge installation.
- Security (optional). If you intend to use SSL/HTTPS, you need
to provide a certificate or plan to have Build Forge install a self-signed
certificate.
