Install Drovio Server¶
Drovio Server is fully packaged on the supported platforms. Each of the following commands has to be run on a supported platform using the official release and instructions.
Administration privileges
All install, update and service commands below require administration (root) privileges.
On Linux, packages are provided for x64 and arm64. The Debian and Ubuntu commands are identical on both; on RHEL, pick the tab matching your architecture.
To deploy Drovio Server in a container instead, see Docker deployment.

The actual configuration is described in Configuration.
Windows¶
Drovio Server can be installed on any 64-bit Windows version released over the last decade. If you have not yet been provided with a Drovio Server installer for Windows along with this document, please contact us at support@drovio.com and we will send you a download link.
The Drovio Server installer for Windows includes all its required dependencies in a single package. Although it was tested on freshly installed Windows Server editions, you may need an Internet connection to make sure your operating system is up to date (through Windows Update).
Install¶
Follow the installer's on-screen instructions to deploy Drovio Server to your Windows machine. At the end of the install process, Drovio Server is ready to be started.
Firewall
Don't forget to modify your firewall settings, if any, so Drovio can be accessed from outside of your server. The actual configuration is described in Configuration.
Start and stop the service¶
Open the Services window either from the Control Panel, or by pressing
Win+R and entering Services.msc in the Run dialog box.
Search for the Drovio Server service to start, stop or restart it.
You can start and stop Drovio Server with the shortcuts located in the Start menu:
- Drovio Server → Start Drovio Server
- Drovio Server → Stop Drovio Server
Update¶
Execute the provided installer. You will be prompted to uninstall the old version (note that this does not remove your settings nor the users / licenses database). Then, follow the on-screen instructions to install the new version.
