Installing the Manager
Note: Skybox Manager runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems. For
(on page 27).
Installing the Manager requires administrator privileges.
To install the Manager
1
Run the installation file (
SkyboxManager-<version#>-<build#>.exe
).
2
Follow the directions in the wizard.
Note that for Windows 7 and Windows 8, installation under
<Drive>:\Program
Files
is not supported.
Important: The Manager communicates with the server over 8443/TCP by
default. If there is a firewall between the Manager and the Server, access on this
port should be explicitly permitted.
Upgrading the Manager
In some cases, the Manager installation file on the Appliance is outdated. In this
case, you can download the new Manager installation file (or you might receive it
from Skybox Security’s product support team) to replace the old installation file.
This way, when Skybox users install the Manager from the Appliance, they are
installing the latest version.
To replace the Manager installation file
1
Copy the installation file (
SkyboxManager-<version#>-<build#>.exe
) to the
Appliance using PuTTY, WinSCP, or any other client program.
Save the file at
/opt/skyboxwebadmin/web/manager/
2
Delete any other files in this directory, including the previous installation file
that was there. The directory must contain only the new installation file.
