Install the BioStar Software 02 Install the BioStar Software Installing BioStar is a fairly simplistic process, provided that you address a few prerequisites before beginning the installation:  First, you must select a PC that can remain running constantly to function as the BioStar server. The server will receive and store log data from connected devices in real time.  Second, you must choose a type of database to use. The BioStar server supports either MySQL or MS SQL Server (including the scaled-down, free MS SQL Server Express). Regardless of which database you choose, you must have sufficient access rights and privileges to connect to the database and create new tables.  Third, ensure that the PCs you will use for both server and client applications meet the minimum requirements listed in section 2.1. The BioStar installation CD includes the BioStar installer. By default, the installer will install both the server and client applications with minimal input (see section 2.2). However, you may choose to install the server and client applications independently if you need to specify additional database options or desire to install the applications on separate PCs (see sections 2.3 and 2.4). 2.1 System Requirements BioStar supports the following operating systems:  Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit system)  Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit platform)  Windows Server 2008 R2  Windows Vista  Windows XP, Service Pack 1 or later 19 Copyright © 2014, Suprema Inc.
