Step 1 - Pre-requisites

A zip file download is available containing both the Gemini web application and the SQL database loaded with sample data to get you going.

The following must be present on your Windows Server. You can choose to have your IIS Web Server and SQL Server on the same machine or each running on different machines.

  • Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5 SP1
  • SQL Server 2005, 2008 or Express
  • SMTP Service/Server (optionally required for email notifications)

If you cannot confirm or do not understand any of the above items then either contact us or your IT administrator.

Step 2 - Unzip Gemini
