Note

When installing Zephyr on your nodes, keep in mind the following:

Install Zephyr on any drive other than drive C: to avoid permission issues, as administrator permissions may be required to work with this drive.
Use the same Zephyr version and build on all the nodes.
Zephyr installed on all the nodes must have the same license.

...

Make sure the computer meets the system requirements.
Ensure you have the license file (license.lic), as it will be required during the installation process. If you do not have it, please contact your Zephyr Account Manager or contact Zephyr Sales at sales@getzephyr.com.
Download the installation file of Zephyr Enterprise for Windows.
Download a JDBC driver and place it on each node where Zephyr will be installed.
Download and install JDK. You can use one of the following:
- OpenJDK 8 17.0.10 (recommended) - download and unzip the archive.
- Oracle JDK 8 17.0.10 - download and install according to the Oracle documentation.
After you install JDK, set the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables:
- PATH variable:
  1. Navigate to Start > Control Panel > System.
  2. Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
  3. Add the path to the bin folder to the PATH variable in the System variables section. A typical path looks as follows:
    - for OpenJDK: C:\some_folder\java-se-8u41-rijdk-17\bin
    - for Oracle JDK: C:\Program Files\Java\JDK_117.80.0_<version>\bin
- JAVA_HOME variable:
  1. Navigate to Start > Control Panel > System.
  2. Click Advanced > Environment Variables.
  3. Find the JAVA_HOME variable in the System Variables section. If you cannot find it, add it to the System variables.
  4. Add the path to the JDK root folder to the JAVA_HOME variable. A typical path looks as follows:
    - for OpenJDK: C:\some_folder\java-se-8u41-rijdk-17\bin
    - for Oracle JDK: C:\Program Files\Java\JDK_117.80.0_<version>\bin

Note
Make sure you have specified the correct paths for PATH and JAVA_HOME.
