Installation

The Installation Guide describes the process of installing a new Querona instance.

Please review the hardware requirements and prerequisites before installing.

No matter how you plan to deploy Querona, the process always involves three steps:

• preparation,

• installation,

• configuration.

Preparation is the process of getting server prepared for Querona by reviewing and following the system requirements. For your convenience, the installation process runs a series of readiness checks to ensure your system meets the Querona requirements.

Installation is the process of getting Querona binaries on your server and involves running an installer obtained from an OEM or retail channels. When the installation completes, further post-installation tasks can be done during Configuration.

Configuration is the process of going through specific settings to fine-tune Querona and get it running optimally using Querona Administrative Portal.

System components

Querona installs the following components:

Component	Description
Querona Server	A Windows service that requires Microsoft .Net 10 or later to run.
Apache Spark	Built-in open-source engine for large-scale data processing, which Querona Server partially depends on. Requires a JRE to run.
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)	Required by Apache Spark. If no compatible JRE is detected during installation, a built-in JRE (Zulu) is installed privately and used.
Data providers	Connectors for data sources — general technologies (ADO.NET, ODBC, JDBC) and third-party providers. Not bundled in the installer; download them from the vendor, and note that production use is subject to the vendor’s licensing. Some (for example SAP HANA) require separately installed client software. For the full list and their requirements, see Data sources.
