Step 1	Review the system requirements and perform any upgrades. All computers must meet or exceed the minimum system requirements.
Step 2	Perform Windows updates on all store computers and registers. Ensure all computers are updated with the latest service packs and hot fixes.
Step 3	Install the .NET Framework or .NET SDK. .NET must be installed on any computer that will run an RMH app (Store Manager, POS, Central Manager, Central Server, Central Client, Flash Bridge). The system requirements identify which version of .NET is required for the apps.
Step 4	Install Microsoft SQL Server. The system requirements identify which version of SQL Server is required. You must enable TCP/IP and open port 1433 if SQL Server is installed on a remote computer.
Step 5	Download the latest RMH release package and extract all files. Review the release notes and readme for the release package. Determine if there are any known issues that could potentially impact the store's business operations.
Step 6	Install Store Manager.
Step 7	Configure the connection to SQL Server and the store database.
Step 8	Connect to SQL Server and store database.

Step 11	Connect to the store database and force install tables.
