Installation and Setup - gravbox/Gravitybox.Datastore GitHub Wiki

The setup is a two-step process. First an empty database much be created in SQL Server. There is no need to add anything to the database after creation as it is completely handled by the Windows service. Once database is created, copy the service binaries to a folder and run the install batch file. This will install the exe file as a Windows service. Open the exe config file in a text editor and change the connection string to the newly created database. Afterwards, open the Windows services dialog and start the service. Once the service has started and initialized, the database will be completely setup.
