Installing Newired Portal (Windows)

Modified on Mon, 24 Oct, 2022 at 2:19 PM

Remember that you need to configure an HTTPS protocol
in order for Newired Portal and Editor to work properly.

In order to install Newired Portal you have to download the installers from https://download.newired.com. Make sure you have the correct installer for your operating system:

During the installation process you will be asked to select a default language. The language you select will be the default language for all new Journeys and Tips. Users can however select a different language from that of the website/application when creating it. The Journey default language serves as the base language for any translations of the Journey content which users may decide to implement later on.

Once set, the default language can only be changed from the application.properties inside the Server.

Before proceeding, please make sure all the installation requirements are met
