   • Linux: install.sh
   • Windows: setup.exe
2. Click Next. The Connection Parameters to the Configuration Server screen appears.
3. Under Host, specify the host name and port number where Configuration Server is running. (This is the main "listening" port entered in the Server Info tab for Configuration Server, which is also used for authentication in the Configuration Manager login dialog box.)
4. Select Use Client Side port, if needed. Click Next.

In either case, you also need to specify the amount of RAM dedicated to maintaining the Apache Cassandra database that Genesys Mobile Services uses for its operations (Genesys recommends allocating 2Gb of RAM for jvm). Also, if you make this instance a backup server, you must specify the IP Address of the primary Genesys Mobile Services server before continuing.
10. Click Next. The Ready to Install screen appears.
11. Click Install. The Genesys Installation Wizard indicates it is performing the requested operation. When through, the Installation Complete screen appears.
