System Requirements

The following are the requirements of your system to install Kendo Manager,

Hardware Requirements

• Min: Intel Dual-Core Processor

• RAM: Minimal 4 GB or more

Software Requirements
• Win 7,8,10 or Windows Server 2008,2012,2016
• Full administrator Access
• MariaDB 10.1.20 +
• Mysql-connector-net-6.9.9
• IIS 7.0, 8.0, 10.0
• .NET Framework 4 +

Step 1. Install .NET Framework 4

• Download and install .NET Framework 4 from the folowing link and install:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42642

Step 2 . Install IIS 7 or Above

IIS is not installed by default on Windows 7. As a result you have to manually set up IIS in your machine or you can
install IIS easily using the Microsoft® Web Platform Installer (Web PI). To learn more about the Web PI, see Learn
about and install the Web PI.

Ensure that you have installed one of the editions of Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 on which IIS 7 or
above is supported before you proceed. Not all IIS features are supported on all editions of Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Home Basic and Starter editions include only limited basic features of IIS. We recommend Ultimate, Professional,
or Enterprise Editions

Note : If you already have installed IIS skip this step

As a result you have to manually set up IIS in your machine.

• Log on either to the built-in administrator account

• First of all, select the Control Panel.

3
 • In the Programs section, select Turn Windows Features on or off.

You might encounter the following screen:

Now, simply click on the features that are checked on the following screens and then hit the OK button.

A progress bar will appear.

Once the installation is over, to confirm it, simply type the following URL into your browser: http://localhost.
If installation is successful, then you will see the following screen:

Step 3 . Install Maria DB on windows 7,8,10 or Win Server 2008,2012,2016

The installation procedure for MariaDB is the same for windows 7,8,10 and Windows server 2008,2012 and 2016
Go to https://downloads.mariadb.org/ for latest version of MariaDB.

MariaDB available in two version : installer and zip type. Get installer version.

Install MariaDB on Windows or Windows server

• Double installer to start install process. Click Next.

 • Check License Agreement

• Click on "I accept the terms"

Custom Setup

Database Authentication/Security Related Properties
NOTE : You can set the password for the "root" database user and specify whether root can access database from
remote machines.

Other Database Properties

8
 • Install as service

• Defines if the database should be run as a service and the service name. It is recommended to run your
database instance as a service as it greatly simplifies database management. The default service name is
"MySQL", for compatibility reasons (this is the same name that "mysqld.exe --install" would
choose too).

• Enable Networking

• Whether to enable TCP/IP (recommended) and which port MariaDB should listen to. If security is a
concern, you can change the bind-address parameter post-installation to bind to only local addresses. If
the "Enable networking" checkbox is deselected, the database will use named pipes for communication.

• Optimize for Transactions

• If this checkbox is selected, the default storage engine is set to Innodb (or XtraDB) and the sql_mode
parameter is set to "NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES". You can also define the
Innodb/Xtradb buffer pool size. The default buffer pool size is 12.5% of RAM and depending on your
requirements you can give innodb more (up to 70-80% RAM). 32 bit versions of MariaDB have restrictions
on maximum buffer pool size, which is approximately 1GB, due to virtual address space limitations for
32bit processes.

5.2. Creating a Kendo Manager Database with Xamp and phpMyAdmin

Install and use Xampp co-existing with IIS

Introduction

The main aim of this section is to help beginners to get Xampp Apache Server and IIS server to work
together since there is an issue due to port 80. So we have to change Xampp port 80 to another port
number (not used by any other service).

Use the following steps:

1. Download Xampp from the official website or directly from this link
2. After successful installation of Xampp, go to this directory inside your Xampp folder:
/Xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf
3. Search for Listen 80 and replace it with Listen 8080
4. Search for ServerName localhost:80 and replace it with ServerName localhost:8080
5. Save this file and close it
6. Then go to this directory: /Xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
7. Search for Listen 443 and replace it with Listen 4499
8. Save this file and close it
9. Congratulations, we are done. You can run your Apache service using Xampp Control Panel.

• Start Xampp server

15
 • Start PhpMyAdmin
Note: Use address http://localhost:8080/phpmyadmin if you change port.

without adding :port at the end of your domain. You should only change this if your ISP blocks
