## Chapter 1: Introduction to EKM

EKM is the server application in the EKM family of software. Once it is installed and set up, it can be accessed using a web client and from ANSYS Workbench.

EKM Server and the EKM web client are installed from an ANSYS EKM Server product installation.

See Installing a New EKM Server for details on how to set up an EKM server.

For general information about deploying and configuring an EKM server, see Overview of an EKM Server Installation. In Planning Deployment for an EKM Server, you will learn about the components of an EKM server and different deployment options you may utilize when deploying EKM.

The majority of this guide covers set up of a new EKM server. A separate chapter, Upgrading an EKM Server from a Previous Version, is devoted entirely to upgrading an EKM server from a previous version.

Additional information on various topics related to EKM installation and set up is provided in the Appendices.

Should you encounter any issues when installing, configuring or using EKM, refer to the ANSYS EKM Troubleshooting Guide.
