Installing ARK2FA Management Server

Section 1: ARK2FA Server Installation (.msi)

This section covers the installation steps for the main server software. To ensure a smooth installation, the setup file must be executed with administrative privileges.

1.1. Running the Setup File as Administrator

1.1.1. Launch Command Prompt (CMD) as Administrator

• Open the Windows Start Menu.

• Type cmd.

• Right-click on the Command Prompt application from the search results and select Run as administrator.

1.1.2. Navigate to the Installation Folder

In the administrator console window, use the cd command to navigate to the folder where the .msi installation file was downloaded.

Tip: To find the exact file path, right-click on your setup file (ARK2FA_Setup_Server_2.0.2.1004.msi), select Properties, and copy the text from the Location field.

Example Command: cd C:\Users\arksoft.adm\Downloads

1.1.3. Verify the File Name

Use the dir command to confirm that you are in the correct directory and to view the exact name of the installation file.

1.1.4. Start the Installation

Type (or paste) the full name of the installation file as listed by the dir command, then press Enter to start the setup.

Example Command: ARK2FA_Setup_Server_2.0.2.1004.msi

Tip: To avoid typing errors, you can copy the file name directly from the dir output — highlight the file name with your mouse, right-click to copy, and right-click again in the command prompt to paste it.

1.2. Installation Wizard Steps

Once you have completed the previous steps, the installation Welcome screen will appear. Click Next, then Install to proceed with and complete the installation.

After the installation is finished, the FTW (First Time Wizard) application will automatically launch, as described in the documentation.
