# Step by step installation of ODDC Server

In this documentation, the Oculens DDC Server will hereinafter be referred to simply as the ODDC Server.

Below is a step-by-step guide to installing the ODDC Server on Windows Server 2025.

The ODDC Server is a 64-bit ASP.NET Core web application designed for use with Windows.

Administrator privileges are required for installation.

Please verify that your server or virtual machine is capable of running the ODDC Server.

To ensure a smooth installation, we recommend the following procedure:

- Perform all necessary configurations from the command line by running the ODDC Server as a console application
- If everything is working correctly, start the ODDC Server as a Windows service

The purpose of the installation steps below is to provide a general guide to installation that results in a reliable, trouble-free setup that can be started and used without issue. This can then be refined and tuned for greater security. Therefore, additional configuration may be required at your workplace. For this installation, we will connect to the database and start the ODDC Server using Windows authentication on behalf of a technical user.
