Installation Instructions for New Installations of Juris

Thank you for choosing Juris.  The Juris installation can be performed in minutes by following the instructions below.  Please read through these completely before beginning the installation.  If you have any questions regarding these instructions, contact Juris Support to clarify those issues before attempting the installation.

Note: Users should exit the server and virus scanning should be temporarily disabled during installation. If a user is accessing a shared resource that must be updated during this installation, a server reboot may be required.  It is recommended that no users be on or connected to the server during the server portion of the Juris installation.  You should also disable virus scanning during the installation process as virus scanning products may inhibit the installation from proceeding normally.  Again, be aware that the installation may require a reboot.

Make sure you meet or exceed the current System Requirements.

Installing Juris Server Components
  1. Install SQL 2005 Express or SQL 2008 Express if SQL Server is not installed. Juris Server components must be installed on a machine that is equipped to host a SQL database.  That means that the machine must have either SQL 2005 or later already installed, or you must install the SQL 2005 Express or SQL 2008 Express component from Juris before attempting the Server Installation.  Follow the on-screen prompts, or click here for detailed screen-by-screen instructions.
     
  2. Install the Juris Server components.  Follow the on-screen prompts, or click here for detailed screen-by-screen instructions.
     
  3. The Juris Application and the Juris Administrative Toolkit are normally installed from a shared location on the Juris server. In this case, ensure that the Application and Administrative Toolkit installation files are placed on a shared location on the server. You can also download the installation files to each individual workstation. 
     
Installing Juris on Workstations

Note: The following procedure refers to executables whose file names depend on your Juris version number. For example, the Juris application executable is named Juris Application x.x.exe, where x.x is the Juris version (for example, 2.5.exe).

  1. This portion of the setup must be performed at each workstation.  If the installation was copied to a shared drive during step 3 above, then browse to that shared location and begin the setup by double-clicking the Juris Application executable.  Follow the on-screen prompts, or click here for detailed screen-by-screen instructions.
     
  2. The administrative toolkit is not required.  This optional installation includes certain tools that may be used to administer the Juris system.  At least one person in the firm should load this toolkit in addition to the Juris Application.  If the installation was copied to a shared drive during step 3 above, then browse to that shared location and begin the setup by double-clicking on the Juris Administrative Utilities executable.  Follow the on-screen prompts, or click here for detailed screen-by-screen instructions.
