Install Flowster Studio Additional Engine

• Before installing, please review the Flowster Studio System Requirements.

UAC Enabled
If UAC is enabled on the machine, when starting the EXE, credentials for a privileged user will be required, in order to properly install Flowster Studio.




In order to install the application with a new database follow the next steps:

• Double click on the Flowster Studio Setup.exe file.
• The Features dialog opens:

• The installer will provide 5 features that can be installed: Flowster Engine, Designer, Execution Agent, Web Portal and WebApps. Unchecking features will cause parts of the installer user interface to be disabled accordingly.
• Check the Flowster Studio Additional Engine option. This will cause the Flowster Studio Engine Core option to be checked and disabled. Please note that the installer provides the possibility to install other Flowster Studio components together with the Additional Engine.
• The current chapter will continue assuming all components are unchecked.
• Enter the Main RestAPI endpoint by selecting the communication protocol (http/https) and entering the host address and port.
• Please note the Custom RSAKeys file path (optional). This is required if the Flowster Studio RestAPI uses custom RSA keys for communication. The RSA Keys file can be generated under the Flowster Studio Administrator page.
• Click on Get next to the Tenants list and wait for the list to be populated. Select a tenant. This is only required by the installer for Flowster Studio data gathering.
  • Select the location where Flowster Studio will be deployed or leave the default one (C:\Program Files\Flowster Solutions\Flowster Studio)
• Click Next. The Flowster Studio service user dialog opens:

• The LDAP Connection, Domain format for portal authentication and System superadmin areas are disabled, as they're only inserted/updated in the database during a main engine installation.
• The Service user field is prefilled with the identity that's currently executing the installation. Please update it to the identity that will be running the Flowster Studio services (if the prefilled one is incorrect) and provide the Password and Password confirmation.

UAC Enabled
The Service User should be in the Local Administrators Group, in order to run the windows processes used by Flowster Studio (e. g.: the Flowster Execution Agent windows service will not retrieve the last score and it will not be able to support workflows executions on it).

• Click Next. The Flowster Studio Engine Settings dialog opens:

• Please note that the General Settings, Default tenant language, Centralized repository path, RestAPI client settings and Default Flowster Instance settings areas are disabled, as they're only inserted with a main engine installation.
• The installer suggests default values for services ports. The entries can be changed manually.
• Click Next. The Flowster Studio SSL certificate settings dialog opens:

• Select the PFX certificate for the SSL communication:
  • Flowster Studio default certificate, deployed with the product, or
  • manually choose a different certificate (PFX only) and enter its password, or
  • choose to keep the existing (that were not unbound) SSL certificates. If none are attached, the default certificate will be bound to the Flowster Studio services ports.
• Click Next. The Ready to Install dialog opens:

• In order to start the installation, click Install.
• A progress dialog will be displayed (windows installer), followed by a Result.
