Installation
This guide walks you through installing Clustron DKV on Windows.
This step is only required if you want to run Clustron in distributed mode. You can use In-Process mode without installing anything.
Prerequisites
- Windows machine
- PowerShell 7.x (recommended)
Install PowerShell (if not already installed):
winget install --id Microsoft.PowerShell -e
After installation, open PowerShell 7.
1. Download
Download the latest release:
Download the Windows package:
clustron-dkv-x.x.x-win-x64.zip
2. Extract
Extract the ZIP file to a folder of your choice.
Example:
C:\temp\clustron
3. Run as Administrator
Open PowerShell 7 with administrative privileges.
This is required for installation.
4. Install
Navigate to the extracted folder:
cd C:\temp\clustron
Run the installer:
install.cmd
Once the installation completes, Clustron commands will be available in PowerShell.
Installation Location
By default, Clustron is installed to:
