Chapter 3 Using the Installer
31
If you are installing Final Cut Server as part of a recovery process in Important:
which you will restore the system from a previous backup, be sure to not select this
checkbox. This will prevent the automation from trying to scan an empty Media
device, which can lead to issues with proxies and the Final Cut Server catalog.
In the Standard Install pane that appears, click Install or Upgrade.10
This automatically installs Final Cut Server on the computer’s startup disk.
You may see the Upgrade option even on computers that do not have Important:
previous versions of Final Cut Server installed. This is because the installer has detected
at least one le on your system in common with the les it installs; this is considered
normal. Click Change Install Location.
This opens a pane that allows you to choose the volume on which to install
Final Cut Server. This volume must be this computer’s startup disk.
A dialog appears requiring you to authenticate yourself by entering your name and
password. Click OK when nished.
The installer displays a progress bar to indicate its status. After the installer nishes, a
pane appears that conrms the installation was successful.
Click Close to close the installer.11
After you have nished the installation, you are ready to register your system and begin
conguring Final Cut Server System Preferences.
