    \DirectAudit\Audit Management Server\

  3. Run the Audit Management Server installer : Delinea DirectAudit Audit Management Server64.exe.

  4. At the Welcome page, click Next.

  5. Review the terms of the license agreement, click I accept the terms in the license agreement, then click Next.

  6. On the Destination Folder page, review the installation location and click Next to continue.

  7. If you want to install the console in a different location, click Change and navigate to the desired folder.

  8. Click Install to begin the installation.

  9. The installer installs the necessary files. To open the console, keep the Run Audit Management Configuration Wizard option selected. Otherwise, deselect the option.

  10. Click Finish to close the installer.

    If you have one installation, it's already selected.
