Install N-able N-central

For more information, watch Getting Started with N-able N-central: Installation

You can install N-able N-central on a physical server or virtual machine. N-able N-central supports the following platforms:

Physical servers:

• A Bare Metal Server with UEFI Firmware enabled (Preferred)
• A Bare Metal Server with Legacy BIOS enabled

Virtual machines:

• VMWare ESX/ESXi 6.0 or newer with UEFI Firmware enabled (Preferred)
• VMWare ESX/ESXi 6.0 or newer with Legacy BIOS enabled

• Windows Server 2016 or newer Hyper-V (Generation 1)

During installation on CentOS and Linux systems, the install performs hardware detection routines. This can cause error messages to appear for undetected devices, like floppy drives, on the console at the beginning of the installation. These are normal messages that you will see on any CentOS and Linux during boot, before the splash screen pops up, and does not affect the installation of N-able N-central.
