The following instructions describe how to obtain and install Zend Server. A summary of the procedure follows and later sections provide the details.

If you plan to upgrade an existing version of Zend Server to a newer version rather than install Zend Server for the first time, see the section on "Upgrading Zend Server " for information about upgrade procedures and about issues that you should consider before upgrading.

Installing for the First Time

To determine if Zend Server is supported on your platform of choice see the list in Choosing Which Distribution to Install”.

If you are installing Zend Server to be added as a node to a cluster using Zend Server Cluster Manager, you must install Zend Server with Session Clustering and the component must be turned on.
