Installation

Overview

This guide provides instructions for installing Juno Cassandra Desktop and registering your user account. Before starting this process, you should be familiar with the structure of the Cassandra license as outlined on this page and have discussed with Lonrix the network(s) for which you require licenses etc. Basically - all commercial issues should be settled before you start the installation process.

We also recommend that you discuss the planned installation with your IT department before starting the installation process. A complete guidance document for IT departments is provided on this page. Please refer your IT department to this page to ensure that the necessary permissions for the application are in place before you start the installation process.

  2. Use the link that Lonrix will provide for you in an email to download the zip file containing the program files.

  3. Extract the zip file contents to a folder on your computer. Note where this folder is so that you can install future updates into the same folder, or into a sibling subfolder in the same parent folder.
