For your convenience InterSystems is posting the typical install steps for the operating systems that are supported with InterSystems IRIS.

For Microsoft Windows, please consult the InterSystems product documentation.

The IRIS installer will detect if a web server is installed on the same machine, which gives you the option to automatically have the web server configured.

All Apache installations will require sudo (recommended) or root permission to install the web server. This requirement supports recommended best practices. 

For Red Hat (RHEL), InterSystems is installing SELinux files to support connections via http or https (if configured).

Optionally the Scripts provide instructions on how to turn the installation steps into an executable file. (The file name is just a recommendation.)

InterSystems offers three videos (https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?name=UpgradeNoPWS) and a podcast (https://learning.intersystems.com/course/view.php?name=NoPWSPodcast) to provide additional information and watch examples of the experience.

We hope you will find the new process quickly easy and straight forward. Changing the procedure was not an easy decision, but often requested by customers and in line with best practices.

Once you switched away from the Private Web Server It is probably as easy as installing apps on your mobile device.
