Learn how to install Confluence, the base platform for Brikit.

Replace me with a more complete explanation of what this how-to accomplishes.

Know your role

The person responsible for installing and configuring Confluence and Brikit products is the System Administrator. This role requires both comfort with and confidence in using command-line tools, servers (especially Apache Tomcat), databases, file systems, and network tools.

Know your environment

Will you be installing Confluence on premises, on a local machine, or in the cloud? Do you have an existing database environment (if not: will it be created on premises, locally, cloud?)? The answers to these questions will affect which Confluence download package you need and how to go about installation.

Fortunately, the type of Confluence you install will not affect Brikit products. Brikit is ready-to-install once you have a Confluence environment up and running. [[is this totally correct?]]

Download and install

It is best to follow the latest Confluence Installation Instructions from Atlassian's documentation. Roughly, these steps are as follows:

1. Download Confluence
2. Create the installation directory
3. Create the home directory
4. Check the ports
5. Start Confluence
6. Choose installation type
7. Enter your license
8. Connect to your database
9. Populate your new site with content (or import it from an existing site)
10. Choose where and how to manage users
11. Create your administrator account
12. Start using Confluence

Install Brikit!

If you are reading these instructions here, you probably also will be installing Brikit. 

Use h4 for section headings

If you don't want numbers in the section headings, simply remove the "numbered" class from this block.

Note/Tip/Warning/Info blocks below are collapsed by default. If you want to use any of these, try to keep to just one per page. You may use two if necessary, but in general, try to limit these.

• Setting Global Site Permissions
• Replace me with a link
• Aim for 4 or fewer related links.  If we need more, that's okay.  Be judicious.  Delete me when you're done.
