What is the procedure for installation?

ADONIS:Community Edition 2.0 comes with improved installation routine that does not require the manual installation of a database engine.
To install ADONIS:CE simply run setup.exe from your installation package.
It will check for the existence of database engines and install one if necessary. If there are already database instances that ADONIS:CE can connect to, you may be asked for a password of SA user.
Please note that some firewalls (e.g. Norton Personal Firewall, ESET/NOD) may prevent ADONIS:CE from connecting to the database during installation. You can resolve this issue by either adding ADONIS:CE to the “white list” or deactivating firewall during installation.
In case you do not remember the SA password or prefer to install the database manually check our guides:

How can I start ADONIS:CE?

-
Problems with starting ADONIS:CE?
-
Starting ADONIS:CE after a default installation should not be a problem. However if the environment is non-standard some additional steps may be required: - If the message “ADONIS:Community Edition could not connect to the database "DATABASE_NAME"! Please try again.” appears please make sure that MS SQL Server is started (Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services). Alternatively if SQL Server is set to start automatically (default setting) restart the computer.
- Some software firewalls may prevent ADONIS from connecting to the SQL Server database. This problem can also arise during installation (especially for Norton Personal Firewall). In such case ADONIS needs to be added to the “white list” in order to allow a connection with the database.

Yes, ADONIS:CE contains a user manual. It can be found in the folder "books" in the installation directory. Additionally, you can use the online help available in ADONIS:CE or start help files from "ADONIS Community Edition" folder in the Start menu.
There is a very compact document ("cheat sheet") with basic guidelines for ADONIS users that you can download here: ADONIS_basic_guidelines.pdf.

Yes, in the folder "examples" in the program directory (default “C:\Program Files\BOC\ADONISCE2”) there are tutorial models available. You can import them using the Import component of ADONIS:CE (ADL import) - see the Screencasts section to learn how.
