PageSeeder installation and upgrade instructions

New installation on Windows

Once the prerequisites described in New installation have been performed the following instructions can be used for a new PageSeeder installation on Windows 10 or higher.

Installing PageSeeder

  1. If not installed already, install Java 11 (or Java 8 for PageSeeder v5 — see which version of java) as follows:
    • Go to https://www.oracle.com/java  and choose Download Java and Java SE.
    • Download the JDK or JRE .exe for windows (x64 for 64 bit) and run the installer.
  2. Download and run the latest pageseeder-x.exe file, available under the Install folder on the Download page.
  3. Once the install commences, follow the on-screen prompts.
  4. When the PageSeeder Developer Utility opens, click Start.
  5. When PageSeeder starts, click Setup and fill in the Setup form.

Starting and stopping PageSeeder

Use the Start-Stop Developer Utility under the PageSeeder program group.

If you have problems with the developer utility, you can do the following at the command prompt or in a batch file (substitute your own JAVA_HOME path):

c:
cd \pageseeder\default\tomcat\bin
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92
startup

To stop, you can type shutdown at the command prompt or press Ctrl-C in the startup window.

Uninstalling PageSeeder

Stop PageSeeder and then select PageSeeder > Uninstall [instance] from the Start menu.

Some document and config folders might need to be removed manually.
