This NBIA 7.1 General Availability (GA) Installation Guide provides you with the instructions to install and configure a fresh NBIA 7.1 GA application. The NBIA installation configures a pre-installed Tomcat application server and creates an NBIA-specific schema within a pre-existing database on a preinstalled MySQL server. NBIA only supports MySQL. LDAP is the only authentication method that is supported.

Directions are given in this document for both Linux and Windows operating systems.

To learn how to use NBIA, refer to the NBIA Data Portal User Guide.
