Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install and launch CAST SBOM Manager:

1. Download Installer. Choose the appropriate version for your operating system (Windows/Linux).

2. Run Installer or Shell Script

   • Windows: Execute the .exe setup file.

     • Execute the installer .exe (e.g., sbom-manager-2.2.0-setup.exe)
     • Select your preferred language and other preferences for the installation
     • Once the installation is finished, a browser automatically opens the application for the initialization step. If the browser doesn't open automatically, go directly to http://localhost:9001

   • Linux: Unzip the archive and run sbom-manager.sh.

      # unzip sbom-manager-2.2.0-linux.zip -d sbom-manager-2.2.0-linux  
      # cd sbom-manager-2.2.0-linux/bin  
      # chmod 755 sbom-manager.sh  
      # ./sbom-manager.sh

3. Launch Browser

   • The application opens at http://localhost:9001.

   The port can be customized if needed (see the troubleshooting section for port conflicts).

   • If it doesn’t open automatically, launch it manually.

4. Initialize User Account

   • Enter your name, email, and password to complete setup.
