This page describes the installation of various components needed to run Dolibarr on a Windows environment.
The installation has been done on Windows 10 but should be functional for earlier versions of Windows - some screenshots just won't fit.
If you are a beginner, please note that the section Installation - Update With DoliWamp (Windows .exe package) also discusses automated installation with DoliWamp.
The interest to install even the different "Server" components needed for Dolibarr to work properly is the possibility to choose newer versions than those proposed by the DoliWamp installer.
It is also an excellent way to understand how it works and to deepen your knowledge about deployment and maintenance of a Dolibarr instance.
This documentation page has been written with the goal to be understandable to the largest number of people (whatever the computer level). Some precisions could appear as trivial for some people but will certainly be useful for others. If you are a (great) beginner, don't try to go fast and take the time to read the different sections of the page carefully (allow a big half-day for implementation).
In the following page, it has been tried as much as possible to explain the different actions you are going to perform (the aim being to understand and not to copy/paste or mechanically apply instructions). In order to easily distinguish the explanations from the actions to be performed, please note that all the actions to be performed are preceded by a bullet (•).
