# Deployment and Installation
LOGAR is designed for rapid, automated deployment across both Linux and Windows environments with native service integration.
LOGAR is distributed as self-contained standalone binaries (`Server.bin` / `Server.exe`, `Linux_Client.bin` / `Win_Client.exe`) and automated service installers. **No Python runtime or `pip` dependencies are required for production deployment.**

## 1. Central Server Hub Deployment
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.10+ (or standalone Linux binary / Docker container)
- Inbound access on ports `9443` (mTLS Ingestion) and `8443` (WebUI & API)
### Standalone Executable (Zero Dependencies)
Download `Server.bin` (Linux) or `Server.exe` (Windows) from the release assets:
### Automated Linux Server Installation
Run the automated systemd installer script on your server:
```bash
# Linux standalone execution
chmod +x Server.bin
./Server.bin
# Windows standalone execution
.\Server.exe
```
On first launch, the server automatically generates its Subordinate CA keypair, server TLS certificate, and default configuration file. The WebUI is immediately accessible at `http://<server-ip>:8443/webui`.
### Automated Linux Server Service (Systemd)
To install the server as a persistent background service managed by `systemd`:
```bash
sudo ./compilation/install_linux_server.sh
```
This script:
1. Deploys the application files to `/opt/logar-server`.
2. Sets up Python dependencies and virtual environment.
3. Generates the initial PKI keys and configuration.
4. Installs and starts `logar-server.service` with `LimitNOFILE=65536`.
1. Deploys the standalone executable to `/opt/logar-server`.
2. Generates the initial PKI keys and configuration.
3. Installs and starts `logar-server.service` with `LimitNOFILE=65536`.
### Windows Server Installation
1. Compile or download `LOGAR-Server-Setup.exe`.
### Windows Server Service Installation
1. Download or compile `LOGAR-Server-Setup.exe`.
2. Execute the installer. It will install the server binary to `{autopf}\LOGAR` and register the `LOGAR_Server` Windows service via NSSM.
### Development Mode (Running from Python Source)
*(Optional for contributors & local development)*
```bash
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # or .\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 on Windows
pip install -r compilation/requirements.txt
python src/Server.py
```

2. Contacts `/api/client/enroll` on the server hub using the shared enrollment secret.
3. Receives and stores `ca.crt`, `client.crt`, and `client.key` in `/etc/logar/certs` with strict permissions (`chmod 700`).
4. Generates `/etc/logar/client_config.json`.
