Installing CML¶
This section provides the instructions for deploying a new CML instance.
First, for non-personal CML installations, decide whether to deploy a cluster or a standalone CML server.
For a cluster deployment, decide which of the supported cluster deployment options from Cluster Requirements you will use. Download the files needed for your selected option. Then, follow the instructions on CML Cluster Installation.
For a standalone deployment, decide your installation option:
Download the files needed for your selected installation option. Then, follow the instructions to deploy and configure your new CML instance. Finally, complete the Initial Set-up steps to license your CML instance and prepare it for use.
Caution
In the future, if you need to delete or redeploy the CML VM, you must first deregister the CML server to release the license associated with the installation. If you fail to deregister the CML server before deleting its VM, your license will still be shown as in use even after you delete the CML VM. You will be unable to use that license with a new CML deployment until you recover the license.
See Licensing - Deregistration for instructions on deregistering your CML server’s license.
