SCANeR QUICK STARTS
Introduction
SCANeR is dedicated to multi-computer simulation and also for single-computer simulations.
In both cases, install SCANeR on the main computer. Ensure that your computer meets the minimum hardware requirements.

If you are planning on a multi-computer setup for SCANeR, administrator privileges are needed to install the Network installer on each secondary computer (documented in SCANeR's documentation)
SCANeR Installation
To install SCANeR 2023, you will need the installer as well as administrator privileges.
These steps will copy files and folders in the current computer dedicated to be the server for SCANeR. The following will show steps on how to proceed with the installation of SCANeR
Double-click on the SCANeR installer (SCANeRstudio-2023.1rXX.part1.exe):
2. Click "Next" to continue with the installation.
3. Agree with the License Agreement to proceed with the installation.
4. Next, you can choose the type of installation (Full, Lite, Minimal) or your own (Custom) installation by selecting the components needed (available components are in the form of files packages such as Config files, Data files, APIs files, Documentation files, and Third-party software components). The interface will also show you the required space needed for the installation.
Full installation = Binary files component + configuration files component + data files component + APIs files component + Documentations component + Third Party,
Lite installation = Binary files component + configuration files component + Third Party,
Minimal installation = Binary files component only + Third Party,
Custom installation = Binary files component + the components you need (check box) + Third Party.
5. Next, in the “Choose Install Location” you can precise the location of the AVSimulation folder. You can change the default location (root folder) by clicking on the “Browse…” button. Then select the folder into which the AVSimulation folder will be created. This interface also allows you to compare the required space with the available space.
We strongly advise separating the Operating System (usually on C: disk) from the SCANeR application folder (usually in a data partition = D: disk). It is preferable to create a separate partition for SCANeR installation if not already available.
SCANeR installer creates the following in the specified folder :
- 1 folder named SCANeRstudio_VERSION
- 6 subfolders :
- APIs
- bin
- config
- data
- doc
- third party
6. Check this option if you plan to use SCANeR in a multi-computer configuration. By checking the box, the installer will show the network path.
7. Check this option to set your STUDIO_PATH if this is the first time you are installing SCANeR. This will create a STUDIO_PATH in your computer's environment variable.
8. The installer allows you to create short-cuts for SCANeR. Check the box “Do not create shortcuts” if you do not want this option.
9. Installation is in progress. The installer will extract and copy the files to your computer. Click on the “Show details” button to see the current processes.
10. Installation is now over. Click on "Finish" to close the setup.
