Download and Install Timebase#

Install .NET 10 first. Take specifically the .NET 10.0.x ASP.NET Core Runtime, Hosting Bundle - the plain runtime and the SDK are not the same package and will not host the Timebase services. Download it from Microsoft.

  1. Download the Windows installer - Timebase.msi, one package for every component. Prefer containers? Start Here for Docker runs the same release on Docker.
  2. Run the .msi.
  3. As you progress through the installer, we will automatically check for certain prerequisites, such as .NET 10, and require you to read and agree to the End User License Agreement before proceeding.
  4. Choose your desired configuration. You can install a single component of Timebase or all components using the same installer; simply ensure the components you desire are indicated with a check mark.
  5. Based on the components you are installing; choose the directory you wish to install Timebase to.
  6. We will default the application files to C:\Program Files\Flow Software\Timebase and the Historical Data
  7. We default historical data and log files to C:\ProgramData\Flow Software\Timebase\Historian\Data. 1. To change this default follow these instructions after installation is complete.
  8. Timebase is built, maintained and supported by the team at Flow Software, hence the default installation folder structure.
  9. After selecting your destination, you can finish the installation. The overall process should only take a few minutes.
