Installing Keycloak¶

Hint - active virus scanner

An active virus scanner may slow down the installation.

Make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the Java Runtime Environment installed on the server.

If not, open a Command Prompt (Adminstrator) and enter the following command:
```
setx JAVA_HOME /M "C:\Program Files\Java\<java_install_path>"
```
Hint - management server

If you whish to install SEAL Keycloak on the management server in parallel to SEAL Elastic Stack, set the variable to the Java Version that Elastic Stack comes with. SEAL Elastic Stack does not automatically set the JAVE_HOME environment variable.
In a browser, log on to the SEAL Systems delivery platform with your logon data:

Hint - logon data

You receive the logon data from your Technical Project Manager at SEAL Systems.
Download the Keycloak - 26.3.0.94 - msi folder. It is saved as Keycloak - 26.3.0.94 - msi.zip.
Extract the .zip archive.
In a PowerShell (Administrator), change to the Keycloak - 26.3.0.94 - msi directory and start installing the package:
```
cd "Keycloak - 26.3.0.94 - msi"
```
```
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; .\install.ps1
```
Hint - insufficient java version

If the Java Version is insufficient, the install.sh script stops the installation with an error. Keycloak 22.0 requires at least version 17, see requirements.

Open the required firewall ports:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; .\firewall.ps1

After the installation is finished, start the service:
```
start-service seal-keycloak
```
