=== Planning ===

# Obtain the latest GA version

<!-- * # Ensure you have a [[Obtaining_a_license|valid license file]] ; this was the original page that was duplicated below-->

=== Installation ===

* [[enportal/5.5/admin/windows_installation|Windows Installation Guide]]
* [[enportal/5.5/admin/unix_installation|Linux / UNIX Installation Guide]]
<!-- {{Note|A clean enPortal install will be missing many common JDBC database drivers due to licensing restrictions. Refer to the Related Topics below.}} -->

=== Upgrading ===

When upgrading there are additional considerations:

* major version upgrades should be performed in a lab before deploying to production, for example moving from enPortal v4.x to v5.x (see [[enportal/5.5/admin/enPortal_installation/upgrading_to_enPortal_5|Upgrading from Legacy enPortal]]). Once any differences have been dealt with, a new version archive can be produced and be used when upgrading to production.
* ensure you have a full archive before starting (see [[enportal/5.5/admin/enPortal_installation/backup_and_recovery|Backup and Recovery]])
* perform a ''clean'' installation, ''then'' restore the archive. i.e. never uncompress a new version of the product over the top of an existing install unless directed by support.

=== Running enPortal ===

Refer to the OS specific installation guides above for starting/stopping enPortal. 
Please see the [[enportal/5.5/admin/accessing_enportal|Accessing enPortal]] page to access enPortal once it's running.
