This topic is under construction for the 24.3 (March 2024) release of LabKey Server with embedded Tomcat 10. For the previous documentation, click here.
These checklists explain how to install LabKey Server along with its prerequisite components. LabKey Server is a Java web application that runs under Apache Tomcat and accesses a relational database, either PostgreSQL or (with Premium Editions) Microsoft SQL Server. LabKey Server can also reserve a network file share for the data pipeline, and use an outgoing (SMTP) mail server for sending system emails. LabKey Server may optionally connect to an LDAP server to authenticate users within an organization.
If you are
upgrading a prior installation of LabKey, follow the steps in this topic:
The following are the main prerequisites for installing LabKey. Beginning with version 24.3, Tomcat is embedded in the distribution of LabKey and need not be separately installed or managed.
- Java - Use a supported version.
- PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server (with Premium Editions) - Select one of these to serve as the database.
If you wish to evaluate LabKey Server, we recommend that you
contact us to obtain a trial server instead of installing it locally.
