First steps
Welcome to Intrexx Steady Track! This page contains instructions for starting Intrexx after installation, licensing it, and creating a first portal.
Start Intrexx
Intrexx is started via the Portal Manager.
With the Portal Manager, you can connect to your portal and use the Intrexx functions.
There are two versions of Intrexx Portal Manager available: "Portal Manager" and "Integrated Portal Manager". Essentially, both versions have the same range of functions. But there are also some differences.
Integrated Portal Manager
In the classic setup, the Integrated Portal Manager is installed with the Intrexx Portal Server on the same physical or virtual server. It cannot be installed separately from the Portal Server. The Integrated Portal Manager must always be available in the corresponding version for the Intrexx Portal Server. Use the Integrated Portal Manager to update the Intrexx Portal Server.
The Integrated Portal Manager is used when you work directly on the (physical or virtual) server on which the Intrexx Portal Server is installed. The Integrated Portal Manager is often used in the role of an administrator.
The Portal Manager is used to connect to your portal via the Internet or a network. The Portal Manager is often used in the role of a user who has fewer rights than an administrator.
Start the integrated Portal Manager
After installing Intrexx Steady Track, you can start the Integrated Portal Manager by enabling the "Start Intrexx Portal Manager" checkbox and then clicking on "Finish".
Windows
You can also start the Integrated Portal Manager via the Windows start menu.
You can also pin an Intrexx icon to the taskbar via the Windows Start menu.
Linux
On Linux systems you will find "manager.sh" in the installation directory /client/bin/linux.

The Portal Manager does not need to be installed.
Windows
On Windows, you can start the Portal Manager by double-clicking on the file "IX-manager.exe".
Using the right mouse button, you can also add the Portal Manager to the Windows Start menu and pin an icon to the taskbar.
Linux
On Linux systems, you can start the Portal Manager by running the "manager.sh" file.
This can be found in the download directory of the Portal Manager under client/bin/linux.
License Intrexx
Once you have started the Integrated Portal Manager, a red bar will appear in the lower area of the screen informing you of the remaining validity period of your test license. Once you have licensed Intrexx, the red bar will no longer be displayed.
You can find out how to license Intrexx in the section Licensing.
Create a portal
You can create a portal immediately after installing Intrexx by activating the checkbox "Create portal" and then clicking on "Finish".
You can also create a portal in the Portal Manager or from the Windows Start menu.
