The Deploy Tool will ask you a series of questions to assist you in installation of MediaPortal.
The first question from the installer is what language you want to choose for the installation process.
The second page ask you whether to Start with the installation now or Only download required components.
If you choose Only download required components, proceed to Download Only
If the PC you are planing to use MediaPortal on does not have access to the internet, you can simply copy the installer to a PC with an internet connection, restart it and select the Only download required components option. The installer will download all necessary components to a folder which you can copy to your media PC after the downloads have finished. Starting the MediaPortal.DeployTool.exe from within this folder it is now possible to install MediaPortal without the need of an internet connection.
The next question is if you want to watch TV with MediaPortal.
Choosing Yes will install the TV Server which handles all TV related actions like recording or
timeshifting.
On the next screen choosing Perform a One Click installation will take you directly to the installation section.
If you want to choose a client or a server installation or specify more installation parameters choose Advanced Installation
If you select One Click Installation, proceed to Install.
