Installing
Use this documentation to install the HCL Domino® server and subsequently deploy the HCL Notes®client.
- Installing and upgrading Domino® servers
  Perform a new or upgrade install of one or many Domino® servers.
- Installing and upgrading Notes® clients
  - Notes® Auto Update
    You don't have to rely on third-party products to automate deployment of new versions and updates of HCL Notes®. Instead, you can enable Auto Update (AUT) servers to deploy Notes updates automatically.
  - Customizing Notes® installation
    As an administrator, you can customize the Notes® install and upgrade process for your users to install just the features that they need. For example, you can customize the install kit using MSI tuner capabilities and you can also customize the install kit to add or remove Eclipse-based features.
  - Specifying custom data directories for multi-user install or upgrade
    You can configure Notes® custom data directories during Notes multi-user install or upgrade on Windows™ or Citrix XenApp.
  - Understanding the Notes® single user to multi-user migration assistant tool
    The single-user to multi-user migration tool converts a Notes® single-user installation to a multi-user installation.
  - Using the Notes® Install Cleanup Utility (NICE) tool
    You can use the supplied Notes® Install Cleanup Executable (NICE) tool to clean up a failed install, failed uninstall, or failed upgrade. You can also use the tool to uninstall an existing version of Notes, and clean up extraneous files, before performing an upgrade installation. The tool is available for Notes on supported Windows™ platforms only, and must be run by an administrator.
  - Automating a customized or default Notes® deployment using silent install
    You can use a silent install to deploy a default or customized Notes® release to users without user intervention. This enables centralized Notes install or upgrade deployment to many users without requiring user intervention.
  - Installing and upgrading Notes® in a single user environment
    You can install Notes® on Microsoft™ Windows™ or Citrix platforms in a single user environment using either the Notes-only or the Notes Allclient installer.
  - Installing and upgrading Notes® multi-user
    Installing Notes® in a multi-user user environment enables multiple users to sequentially log in to the same machine and use the same Notes install directory with their own Notes data directory.
  - Installing a non-English version of Notes®
    Notes® is available for install and upgrade in multiple languages.
    - Understanding the Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packs
      When you install Notes® on Microsoft™ Windows™, language kits are available for your use. Typically these language kits, referred to as Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packs, are made available shortly after the Notes general release. The MUI packs are provided in install media specific to the language set you require. Install and usage instructions accompany the individual MUI packs in the form of a readme file.
    - Installing a Multilingual User Interface (MUI) pack
      The MUI pack is installed after the English version of the Notes® client has been installed.
    - Using the Native Language (NL) packs
      When you install Notes® Mac OS platforms, language kits are available for your use. Typically these language kits, referred to as native language (NL) packs, are available shortly after the Notes general release.
    - Installing Notes® spelling dictionaries
      The non-English language dictionaries are supplied in MUI packs and NL install kits. If you are using a MUI pack or NL install kit to install the language dictionaries, no additional action is needed.
  - Adding or removing installed Notes® features within a release
    Optionally add new features, or remove installed features, by rerunning the Notes® installation executable within the same release.
  - Managing client plug-in deployment
    While you can customize your client installer to add new or remove supplied features and plug-ins when you install or upgrade your clients, you can also provision (install and automatically update) stand-alone or third party features and plug-ins to your existing Notes® or Lotus® Expeditor run-time using a combination of Domino® policy or Eclipse preferences, a widget resident in a widgets catalog on an HTTP or Domino server, and a Eclipse update site (with signed features and plugin .jar files) optionally resident in a centrally managed NSF-based update site.
  - Uninstalling Notes®
    While it is not necessary to uninstall Notes® to upgrade to a new release, you should uninstall a Beta release before upgrading.
- Upgrading
  Use this documentation to upgrade the existing Domino® server and subsequently upgrade the Notes® client to a new release. You can also upgrade additional clients such as Domino Administrator and Domino Designer clients and additional features and plug-ins such as the embedded HCL Sametime® client.
