  • a Windows PC that meets the minimum requirements below
  • permission to install desktop software
  • internet access if you plan to auto-install MySQL
  • one of these goals:
    • build or edit a project in Editor

Step 1: Choose the Product Language​

Select the UI language, then click Start.

Welcome to CMS

Step 2: Choose the Database Mode​

Pick the database mode that matches your goal.

Choose Database Config

Use this rule:

ModeUse it whenNotes
Auto-Install MySQLYou want the recommended full first-time setupBest default for engineering and feature coverage
Connect to Your DatabaseYour team already manages the databasePrepare the host, port, username, and password first
Use Lite DB (No Install)You want the fastest evaluation pathGood for trials, not the best long-term production choice

Recommended decision for most first-time users:

  • choose Auto-Install MySQL for a full evaluation
  • choose Lite DB only if you need the fastest possible trial

Step 3A: Auto-Install MySQL​

If you choose Auto-Install MySQL, confirm the install path, port, default username, and default password.

If you change the defaults, record them before you continue.

Confirm Install Info

Then click Install.

Step 3B: Connect to Your Database​

If you choose Connect to Your Database, enter the database type, host, port, username, and password.

Click Test first. Continue only after the connection succeeds.

Enter Connection Info

Step 3C: Use Lite DB​

If you choose Use Lite DB, continue with the lightweight evaluation flow. No external database setup is required.

Step 4: Review Launch and Improvement Options​

Review the launch options and analytics settings. Keep the defaults unless your project or IT policy requires a change.

Launch and Improvement

Then click Next.

Step 5: Finish First-Time Configuration​

When configuration is complete, click Start Now.

Configuration Complete

What You Should See Next​

After you click Start Now, AI SCADA should continue to the engineering entry point.

If you installed Editor, your next usable screen should be the Project Manager, where you can:

  • create a blank project
  • open an existing project
  • enter the engineering workflow

If you installed Vision, your next step is different:

  • prepare a finished project file
  • load it into Vision
  • configure the runtime project before monitoring

Troubleshooting First Launch​

If first launch fails, check these items first:

  • The installer finishes but the product does not open: reopen AI SCADA from the desktop shortcut or Start menu
  • The service monitor stays on the startup screen: wait for the first startup to finish, then reopen the product if needed
  • Auto-Install MySQL fails: switch to an existing database or Lite DB, then continue the evaluation
  • The existing database test fails: check the host, port, username, password, and database type before you click Next
  • You installed Vision but expected to build a project: install Editor instead
  • You only need to evaluate features without hardware: continue with First Launch and Workspace Tour, then start with internal tags in Build Your Project

Next Step​

Continue with one of these paths:

  1. First Launch and Workspace Tour to confirm the environment and find the main work areas
  2. Core Concepts if you want a short product and architecture overview before building
  3. Build Your Project to create your first working project
