# Install and initialize Industrial Equipment Manufacturing - On premises

## Steps

1. Make sure a Dynamics 365 Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central installation is up and running, including a database. The example below shows how to create a CRONUS demo environment.
  - For example: [Download Update 21.5 for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2022 Release Wave 2 from Official Microsoft Download Center](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=105029)
  - Install your partner license, replacing the standard **Cronus.bclicense**.
2. Download the latest Industrial Equipment Manufacturing apps package from:
  - [Knowledge Downloads - Support - STAEDEAN](https://support.staedean.com/ticsm?id=knowledge_downloads)
3. Open PowerShell ISE and run as **Administrator**.
  - Import the Industrial Equipment Manufacturing script in PowerShell and run the following sections.
4. Install the D365 BC Modules:

```powershell
Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\220\Service\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.psm1"
Import-Module "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central\220\Service\NavAdminTool.ps1"
```
5. Update the variables (replace parts as required):

```powershell
$apps = "TI-Common,IEM-Advanced Projects Management,IEM-Resource Management,IEM-Manufacturing and Service Integration"
(When only installing APM, remove RM from this list)
$serverInstance = 'BC215'
$buildArtifactFolder = "C:\IEMOnPrem\24.0.101221.0"
$appsSplit = $apps.Split(',')
$i = $appsSplit.Count
```
6. When updating an existing installation, first uninstall the extensions:

```powershell
Do{
    $i--
    Write-Host "Uninstall & Unpublish $($appsSplit[$i])"

    $installedAppVersion = Get-NAVAppInfo -ServerInstance $serverInstance | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $appsSplit[$i] } | %{"$($_.Version.Major).$($_.Version.Minor).$($_.Version.Build).$($_.Version.Revision)"}
    Uninstall-NAVApp -Name $appsSplit[$i] -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $installedAppVersion
    Unpublish-NAVApp -Name $appsSplit[$i] -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $installedAppVersion
}
Until($i -eq 0)
```
7. Install or update the extensions:

```powershell
$apps.Split(',') | ForEach-Object {
    $appName = $_
    $AllAppFiles = Get-ChildItem -Path $buildArtifactFolder -Filter "*.app" -Recurse
    foreach ($AllAppFile in $AllAppFiles) {
        if ((Get-NAVAppInfo -Path $AllAppFile.FullName | Select-Object -Expand Name) -eq $appName) {
            $appFileName = $AllAppFile.FullName
        }
    }

    Write-Host "Install $_ ($appFileName)"
    $newAppVersion = Get-NAVAppInfo -Path $appFileName | %{"$($_.Version.Major).$($_.Version.Minor).$($_.Version.Build).$($_.Version.Revision)"}

    Publish-NAVApp -Path $appFileName -ServerInstance $serverInstance
    Sync-NAVApp -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
    Install-NAVApp -Name $appName -ServerInstance $serverInstance -Version $newAppVersion
}
```

### **Result:**

Once completed, the following entries appear in **Extension Management**:

| Name | Publisher | Version | Is Installed | Published As |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| STAEDEAN-Common | STAEDEAN | v.19.0.100729.0 | v | Global |
| Industrial Equipment Manufacturing-Project Control Suite | STAEDEAN | v.24.0.101221.0 | v | Global |
| Industrial Equipment Manufacturing-Manufacturing and Service Integration | STAEDEAN | v.24.0.101221.0 | v | Global |
| Industrial Equipment Manufacturing-Resource Management | STAEDEAN | v.24.0.101221.0 | v | Global |

- To access the Industrial Equipment Manufacturing functionality, change to the **APM-Project Manager** role center.
- To extend the Cronus demo data for APM/RM/MFG, import and install the configuration packages from: **RapidStart-W1.ENU.TI-JMS-CRONUS.zip**.
