Before you start...
The Lianja App Center is the desktop client for running deployed Lianja Apps. If you want to develop Apps, you need the Lianja App Builder.
Do not run the Lianja App Center installer if you have already installed the Lianja App Builder. The Lianja App Builder installer includes both the Lianja App Builder and the Lianja App Center. The Lianja App Center installer should only be used for desktop client installations.
If you are distributing the Lianja App Center under the terms of your Lianja App Builder license, remember that the Lianja App Center can be included in your own installer. Download the distribution into your lianja\redist folder and see the template installer in the Deploy Workspace for how to run the Lianja App Center installation silently.
Installation
- Double-click on the downloaded installer to run it
- Click Next > to continue
- Read the License Agreement, using the scrollbar to display the full text. Click a radio button to accept or reject the License Agreement then click Next >.
If you select I accept the agreement, the installation will continue.
If you select I do not accept the agreement, you will be prompted to abort the installation: if you click Yes the installation will stop, if you click No you will be returned to the License Agreement. After accepting the License Agreement, the installation will continue.
- Select the Installation Directory in the format DRIVE:\lianja, the default Installation Directory is 'C:\lianja'. Then click Next >.
Note: if you have an existing installation in 'C:\Lianja' (uppercase 'L') this will be displayed and will be the valid default
To install to an alternative drive, specify the drive letter, but leave the directory as '\lianja', e.g.
E:\lianja
- Make sure 'Lianja App Center' is checked, then click Next >.
- Select the Shared files directory drive where Lianja Data, Apps and Library scripts are located. Click Next > to accept the default drive 'C:\'. To install to an alternative drive, specify the drive letter, e.g. 'E:\', then click Next >.
Note: If you are using the Lianja App Center with the Lianja Server to share Apps and data with Web/Mobile clients, the Shared files directory installation drive should be the same drive as the Installation Directory. See Deploying to LAN - Desktop and Web Clients for full details, including the use of the --tenancy command line switch.
Note: if you have specified a different drive to your installation drive, please follow the instructions for modifying the Lianja App Center shortcut at the bottom of this page.
- Click Next > to begin the installation. If you do not want the installation to begin, click Cancel.
- Uncheck the box if you do not want to view the Readme File, then click Finish.
Running the Lianja App Center
To run the Lianja App Center, double-click its desktop shortcut. The default username/password for the Lianja App Center is admin/admin.
If you specified different Installation and Shared files directory drives, you need to modify the Target of the Lianja App Center shortcut as follows:
- Right-click the shortcut and open the Properties
- Add the command line switch '--runtimedir DRIVE:' where 'DRIVE' is your drive letter, e.g. for a Shared files directory drive of 'E:' and an installation drive of 'C:', the Target is C:\lianja\bin\lianjaruntime.exe --runtimedir E:
- Alternatively, you can set up LIANJA_RUNTIMEDIR as a system or user environment variable (Control Panel | System | Advanced system settings) to point to the Shared files directory drive.
