Chapter 1 - Prerequisites
1 PREREQUISITES
1.1 PYTHON
1.1.1 PYTHON 2.7
For the moment, Shinken does not support 3.0. This document is based on a 2.7.2 pythons version. The
install of python is done without modifications, in the folder C:\Python.
If you change the pythons installation folder, you will have to change the configuration files.
1.1.2 PYWIN
The version used for this document is: Python 2.7 pywin32-216:
1.1.3 PYRO
Pyro is a remote communication framework for python. Pyro can be downloaded on internet. The version
used to write this document is 4-4.12. On internet, the package downloaded comes with a tar.gz format.
Under Windows, using a software like WINRAR, you have to uncompress the file TAR.GZ in a new folder.
Then install pyro using the following command line.
python.exe pyro installation folder\setup.py install
1.2 WINDOWS
1.2.1 FRAMEWORK .NET
The framework version to launch the SHINKEN services is : 2.0

Chapter 2 - Installation of SHINKEN 1.0.1
2 INSTALLATION OF SHINKEN 1.0.1

2.1 THE PACKAGE
Le package is a SETUP.EXE file handling all the necessary files to process the Shinken installation .
At the date of 04/14/2012, the SETUP.EXE file has the following properties:

Type your name and organization, then Click on the Next > button
The Complete radio button installs all the features.

The Custom option lets the choice of which feature will be install and where install them. First, you can
change the install folder of Shinken. As you can see, the default installation depends of your Windows type
(32 or 64 bits). Services are coded into 32 bits so the standard folder for Windows 2008 R2 is
18/04/2012

Page : 9/15

C:\Program Files (x86)\Shinken\

But for a Windows 2008 (no R2 version) 32 bits installed, it should be C:\Program Files\Shinken\
Change the folder if you want (click on the Browse button to choose a new folder or create it), then Click
on the Next > button

The chosen components (or the complete install) may now be installed. By default, only the Common files
and the scheduler are selected.
Click on the Next > button.
Please note that you can click on the < Back button to change option before install the
components.
If needed, accept the UAC notification by clicking on the Yes button.

2.3
POST-INSTALL CHECKS

Go to Start menu, into the search zone, type services.msc

Hit ENTER (or RETURN depending of the keyboards) or click on the blue line services .

Page : 14/15

If one of the services is not started, we have to check the logs or the events to see exactly what happened.
The logs are into the Shinken folder\logs. Note that a special system variable named shinkenhome refers
to the install folder so it also a good idea to use %shinkenhome%\logs
