Before you proceed with the BoltBee Installation Assistant, you need to install the following prerequisites (basic requirements):
- .NET 6 Hosting Bundle (Original Link: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0)
- For Sage100 platforms, you need a functioning Sage application (Client) in your environment.
Once the installation is complete, you will see this window.
Please make sure that the BoltBee service is running under Windows.
Upon the initial launch, .NET 6 will make the following URL available: http://localhost:5000. Please log in with your credentials and input the license as outlined in Chapter 15 /manual/boltbee-manual/15-manage-your-credentials/.
Afterward, create licensed platforms as described in Chapter 11, following the instructions at https://boltbee.de/manual/boltbee-manual/11-create-a-new-platform/. Once that is done, you can configure individual automations, as detailed in Chapter 14, available at https://boltbee.de/manual/boltbee-manual/14-set-up-automation/.
How to change the default Adress
By default, ASP.NET Core apps listen on the following URLs:
- http://localhost:5000
- https://localhost:5001
You can set environment variables in the usual way based on your environment. For example:
