-Download the accessory tools for niota and run all the scripts to set up database step by step. In this accessory folder you can find a **''/bin''** folder where all the executables are stored. This is just in case you are not allowed to run a standalone MySQL server for niota or you want to set up database on our own.

-=== use embedded MySQL server and install niota metadata database (N-MDDB) as a service ===
+==== Windows - setup MySQL ====
-If MySQL server is already running and listening on the same port as you want to run niota then you have to change your niota port or stop the other MySQL server.
+In case of upgrade to a new MySQL server version you can use only one MySQL server at the same time on the same port. In case you want the check how niota works with new MySQL server and then again switch back to old MySQL server you have to shut down always the other.
+**There must not be two server listening on the same port**
-Execute listed tasks step by step in the given order
+If you want to run both server at the same time you can configure niota **''..\connections.php''** to switch from one server to the other.
-  * unzip downloaded NMDDB zip-file
-  * move extracted folder to target location
-  * rename the folder to your needs
 **Recommendation:**
-----
+Remove the detailed version info from you target folder.
-Remove the detailed version info.
-e.g. rename “niota-meta-80_v2.1.21308” to “niota-meta_v2”

-==== Windows - setup MySQL ====
   * navigate to the mysql-<version> - folder and check the configured port in configuration file my.ini
-Default port 3306 is configured. If you have to change this, then set your desired port number here. If you change the port for N-MDDB you must edit also your connections.php file in N-PAPP and set this port number here as well.
