Introduction
Our customers are notified by mail about each new BVQ version, this includes a download link to the newest BVQ.
BVQ updates and first-time installations follow the same workflow.
The all-new core-installer is a .exe file which should be placed on either the host which is currently running BVQ or on the host which is supposed to run BVQ.
Information about the requirements are placed here and before installing BVQ for the first time we strongly recommend to read also the preparations article out of the Getting Started Guide.

Please note that changes to your existing BVQ configuration can only be made, using an update installation. This works even with the same installation file used in your current BVQ installation. You have a running BVQ and want to change the java heap size of your BVQ Server? |
Procedure
The initial setup can be divided into 7 subsequent stages:
- Create users on your systems, with which BVQ is able to collect data
- Installation wizard which guides you through the setup
- Maintenance page where BVQ is checking the environment and its own files
- Initial Configuration helps you to create your first scanner and therefore enables BVQ to receive the first data
- Quick Tour explains the features of the BVQ webpage
- Grafana data sources must be adjusted after each port change or implementation of a new HTTPS certificate
- BVQ GUI is an extensive tool, with which you are able to have direct access to your data
