Install the Components on a Stand-Alone Server

A stand-alone server is a single server that hosts the NFA console and the Harvester. Complete the steps in this topic to install all of the components on a single Windows server or virtual machine.

Follow these steps to complete the Harvester phase:

1. Verify that the installation server is prepared as described in Prepare the Windows Servers.
2. Log in as a user who has administrator privileges for CA Network Flow Analysis.
3. Start the Harvester phase of the installation: Double-click the NFHarvesterSetup9.3.0.exe file.
4. Verify that the appropriate language is selected, then click OK.

   The Welcome screen opens.

5. Click Next.

   2. If you want to continue under the terms of the license agreement, click the option to accept it. This option is activated when you scroll to the bottom.

      Prerequisite tests run to look for problems on the server. If a problem is found, an error message opens. A critical problem causes the program to exit. A Pre-requisite Check Warning message or other warning message opens for non-critical problems, which gives you the option to make corrections now or after the installation or upgrade is complete.

7. Review the test results in the Pre-requisite Check Warning message, if it opens:
