Overview

General Requirements

Before installation, the following prerequisites should be met:

• Administrator access: Administrator privileges are required on the system for installation.
• DATEVconnect access: The user must be able to access DATEV through the DATEVconnect interface.
• Network drive: Access to the DATEV network drive, usually L:\, must be available.
• Network access: The server must allow outbound connections to api.klardaten.com and nats.klardaten.com on port 443.

Installation options

There are two technical ways to install the Klardaten DATEV Connector:

1. Installation via UI: Run the installer normally and follow the on-screen steps.
2. Command-line installation: Run the installer unattended with flags and configuration values.

The concrete command-line parameters are documented in the Command Line Installation chapter.

Independently of that, choose one of the following two setup paths before you start:

• Standard installation: Use this path if the installer should create the required Windows user and DATEV user automatically.
• Existing user: Use this path if a Windows user and the linked DATEV user already exist and should be reused.

The condensed checklists for both paths are documented in the Installation chapter. The checks after setup are documented in Troubleshooting.
