Installing LN Studio

This section describes how you can install LN Studio.

Note: 
  • For information on the prerequisites for the installation of LN Studio, see Prerequisites.
  • Before you can install LN Studio, the system administrator must give you access to the zip file with the LN Studio software.

To install LN Studio:

  1. Create an installation folder.

    Create a new folder on your machine.

    The recommended installation directory is: C:\Infor\LN\LNStudio.

    Note: On Windows 7 or later, do not install LN Studio in a Windows protected folder, such as C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86).
  2. Open the InforLNStudio_<version number>.nnn-x86_64.zip file, which contains the LN Studio software, and extract all contents of the file to the new installation folder.

    nnn represents a build number, such as "0023".

Post installation steps

  1. Select the workspace.

    See Selecting the workspace.

  2. Configure static connection points.

    When you have installed LN Studio, you must configure these static Connection Points:

    • Project Server
    • Debug

    See Defining connectivity settings.

  3. Configure dynamic connection points.

    For each LN server, on which you want to perform administrative tasks, you must configure the following dynamic connection point:

    Administrator

    For each software project you develop software in, you must configure these dynamic connection points:

    • Development Address
    • Runtime Address
    Note: You cannot define these connection points in advance. When working in LN Studio, a prompt is displayed whenever such a connection is required, but not yet configured. At that moment a wizard to configure the required connection point is started.
  4. Configure connection points for Business Interface development.

    To use interface projects, configure these connection points:

    • RuntimeRepositoryConnection
    • TestServerConnection

    See Defining connectivity settings.

    Note: These connection points are not required if the interface project is using "related software projects".
