Revolution Installation

👉

In most cases your system will be provided with Revolution preconfigured and ready for you to use.

👉

Administrator access will be required to install Revolution. In addition we recommend setting UAC to be disabled.

Prerequisites - Database

Revolution requires Mongo DB. Mongo DB stores data from runs and also data regarding plate barcodes and plate locations.

Install MongoDB by running the installer version 2.6.9

MongoDB Downloads

👉

Revolution currently supports Mongo DB version 2.6.x. Mongo DB version 3.x is not yet supported. Windows must be x64, 32bit is no longer supported.

By default MongoDB will install to the dir C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard

Next, create the following two files:-

C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\mongod.cfg

// Default Doks style
logpath=C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\log\mongod.log
dbpath=C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\data

C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\installservice.bat

// Default Doks style

if not exist "C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\log" mkdir "C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\log"
if not exist "C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\data" mkdir "C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\data"

sc.exe create MongoDB binPath= "\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\bin\mongod.exe\" --service --config=\"C:\Program Files\MongoDB 2.6 Standard\mongod.cfg\"" DisplayName= "MongoDB 2.6 Standard" start= "auto"

pause

Once downloaded, execute the installservice.bat file to install the Mongo DB Windows Service.

Finally, reboot the PC and verify that the Mongo DB Windows Service starts correctly.
