2.7 General Installer
The General Installer is an alternative to installing services individually. It contains a complete set of packages for all MultiProbe components and supports multiple installation modes — making it the recommended approach for most deployments.
The installer is supplied as a .zip archive with the following naming convention:
Stream Labs MultiProbe X.X.X.XXX.zip
Example: Stream Labs 7.12.6.975.zip

Installation Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Full | The server acts as both an aggregation server (Database, Frontend, Backend) and a Node (analysis, processing, visualization, recording) |
| Aggregation Server | The server acts as the Central Server only |
| Node Server | The server acts as a Monitoring Node only |
| Custom | Selective installation of individual components |
Installation Settings

Warning
- For the initial installation, Silent mode must be disabled so that required parameters (database credentials, ports, Node ID) can be configured manually
