===Install===

Includes known issues updating from SME10.0
  
===Current Release===
+
===NetInstall===
The current stable release is SME Server '''Release 8.0''' (based on CentOS 5.8), see the Updates section below for details of incremental updates available with yum. Our prior stable release was SME Server Release 7.6
+
When installing the netinstall ISO, you will be asked some basic questions (check the media, languages, keyboard layout etc.), followed by the question for the location of installation files. The options are CD/DVD, Hard drive, NFS or URL
  
Version '''SME Server 9.0''', which is currently in development [[SME_Server_9.0_Development|here]], will be based on CentOS 6.3 [http://mirror.contribs.org/releases/testing/9/iso/ Download Here]
+
When you select the URL option the required URL is provided as a mirrorlist. A mirrorlist of smeupdates is also provided so you do not have to do updates right after install.
  
===Download Locations===
+
Next step will be to select the packages to install, i.e. minimal environment to get a fully functional SME 10. Failure to do this step, will leave you with a CentOS 7 minimal.
SME Server (and many add-ons) can be downloaded from one of our download locations. These download locations (Mirrors) have generously been provided by our mirror partners. Additional information on how to become a mirror partner and the status of current mirrors is available [[Mirrors| '''here''']].  
 
  
'''A big thank to all of our sponsors for the mirrors.'''
+
Unless you know what you are doing do not enter in the partitioning tool, doing so will erase SME preconfigured partitions, and using the auto partitioning option in this tool will give you CentOS default, in other word full use of all disks with LVM without any raid.
  
For a full list of our download mirrors see our [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors/ '''download locations''']
+
Final step will be to start installation.
  
'''Please always verify your download against the provided checksums (md5 or sha1) in the respective ISO directories'''
+
If you have special needs, or need to fully automatized the installer, you can create your own kickstart script and use it when loading the iso.
 
 
===iso===
 
To download an iso select the [http://mirror.contribs.org/mirrors closest mirror], the version of SME Server you want, then the iso directory and finally the i386 or the x86_64 directory.
 
Note that in each repo, there are two ISO images. One is named according to the released version (i.e smeserver-8.0-i386.iso), the other does not provide version information (i.e. smeserver-i386.iso). The non version ISO is the actual file and facilitates rsync updates for the mirrors. The versioned iso is actually a symlink to the non-versioned ISO so people know what version they are downloading. Both will download the same binary data to your computer.
 
 
 
 
 
===Torrent - The fastest way to download ===
 
The SME Server 8 ISO CD image is available for download as a Torrent

We are very appreciative of the service provided by [http://www.tuxdistro.com/ tuxdistro] - Thank You
 
 
 
 
 
===Zsync===
 
When updates become available you will be able to update a previous version of an iso using zsync, run the command from the same directory as your existing iso. zsync uses a control file to determine whether any blocks in the file are already known to the downloader, and only downloads the new blocks. If you don't have a previous iso zsync is still a good option, it will recover an interrupted download.
 
 
 
To install ZSync you need to ensure you have the Dag repositories enabled. See here: [http://wiki.contribs.org/Dag Dag], then issue the following commands:
 
 
 
yum install zsync --enablerepo=dag
 
Reboot not required
 
cp smeserver-8.0-i386.iso smeserver-8.0.1-i386.iso [if you have a previous .iso]
 
zsync http://smeserver.bhs.mirrors.ovh.net/smeserver/releases/8/iso/i386/smeserver-8.0-i386.iso.zsync
 
 
cp smeserver-7.5.1-i386.iso smeserver-7.6-i386.iso [if you have a previous .iso]
 
zsync http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/7/iso/i386/smeserver-7.6-i386.iso.zsync
 
 
 
 
 
===Updates===
 
Upgrading to 8.x from 7.x - Upgrades from unmodified versions of SME 7.x to SME 8 is supported. If you have modified your server by installing contribs or have used any unsupported 'upgrade' scripts, you may have issues and should consider removing any incompatible contribs before upgrading.
 
 
 
To Be done - See http://wiki.contribs.org/Updating_to_SME_8.0

The Koozali SME Server project

The Koozali Foundation Inc. is a nonprofit corporation that governs the open source Koozali SME Server project. Koozali SME Server is a stable, secure and easy to use/manage linux server that provides common server functionalities out of the box. Many open source contributions are available that can extend the default server functionality making Koozali SME Server an even more powerful and flexible business server solution. Thousands of Koozali SME Severs have been deployed as real or virtual servers and in the cloud to serve many small to medium enterprises, and this number is growing day by day. The Koozali SME Server is free to use but it takes a lot of effort and money to develop, make, and maintain. We therefore ask you for your considerations.

You too can contribute to the development and continuity of the Koozali SME Server project as described on our volunteering page. Everybody is welcome to join the already 4000+ member contribs.org community and can contribute with any skill set.

Financial donations

You can also show your support by making financial donations. The preferred way to make financial donations is using the donate option in the forums. You are free to choose any amount and frequency, being monthly, yearly or only once. The benefit of donating through your forums account is that your forum user name will receive a badge, showing your donation status. If you do not have a forum account, you can create one, or select the below PayPal option to make your donations.

Commercial usage

Organizations that use Koozali SME Server for their business, provide professional services related to SME Server or in any other way benefit commercially from the Koozali SME Server project, are kindly requested to consider regular financial donations that reflect their business benefits.
