Deploying the CashBox

You should now have a working CashBox and be able to download its package and deploy it on your machine.

Download

To download the Middleware package for your newly created CashBox, go to your list of CashBoxes in the portal (at Configuration / CashBox) and click the download button for the Online Launcher.

The downloaded Middleware package assembles the appropriate binary packages for your CashBox and may take a while. Once your browser prompts you for the file download, save the file to your hard disk.

Deployment

Unzip the archive you downloaded into the directory where you'd like to deploy the Middleware. Once that is complete, you can start your Middleware instance with the test script test.cmd (please make sure to launch it with administrative privileges).

info

As we downloaded the Online Launcher, the archive only comes with the launcher stub, and the Middleware will fetch all additionally required packages upon the first start. The download of additionally required packages may delay the first start by a few seconds.
