Installation of SharePoint 2013 (Part-01)

PART-01 Covers prerequisite installation and installing the SharePoint binaries

Here we will go through the very basic steps or reminders before you can setup a single server/Multiple or development environment

1. First make you you have created all the service and application accounts in the Active Directory. You may refer to the below article for a proper planning [ CLICK HERE ].
2.Also make sure you setup all the Service Principle Names (SPN's) in the activer directory to avoid any unknown authentication or other issues.
3. Make sure you login to all the SharePoint servers as local admin ( eg. DomainName\SP_Installer).
4. Now right the prerequisite.exe installer in the SharePoint 2013 CD > right click > Choose run as administrator and proceed with the below steps.

Installing the prerequisites

5. Once the prerequisite installation is complete do a reboot of the server.

Installing the SharePoint binaries

1. Open the Setup.exe in the SharePoint 2013 CD > right click > Choose run as administrator and proceed with the below steps.

You may leave the installation directory to the default or change it as per your company rules. To me I just leave it to the default and change the Logs directory later to a non-system drive.

From the below screen "UNCHECK" the option "Run the SharePoint Product Configuration Wizard now" and close the window.

If you have multiple servers in your farm you may perform the steps in Part-01 on all servers in the farm.

Let's proceed to PART-02 now.
