Installing the Product

QUICK TIP: Have you read the Planning Deployment section? Ensure the computer where you plan to install Cygna Auditor has .NET Framework 4.8 (including ASP.4.8) and Web server (IIS) role enabled.

Standard Installation (Windows Server with GUI)

  1. Double-click the installer to start the setup wizard — in this case, the product will be installed by the currently logged-in user. To install the product as another user, press Shift, right-click the installer, and then select "Run as different user". Make sure to use domain administrator credentials for installation.

    For more information, see Account and Permissions Checklist.

  2. On the End User License Agreement page, carefully read the license text and then accept the license terms if you agree with them.
  3. On the Destination Folder page, review the default installation path (C:\Program Files\Cygna Labs) or click Change to specify an alternative installation folder.

Note: For more information about Cygna Auditing & Security Suite (former PowerBroker Management Suite), including system requirements, installation procedures, and configuration steps, please refer to CA&SS documentation.

Silent Installation (Windows Server Core)

On Windows Server Core systems, the installer can be run without a GUI from a command prompt. Once the installer executable is on the system, open a command prompt and run the following command, replacing the executable name with the version-specific file you have:

CygnaAuditor.exe /install /passive /log install.log

This runs the installer without a graphical interface and logs the installation to install.log in the current directory.

NOTE: When performing an upgrade, the user running the installer must also be a Global Administrator in Cygna Auditor. If this requirement is not met, the upgrade will fail.
