The Witness software suite comes with its own installer. The installer enables the selection of required components and also handles some of the core system configuration. You need to understand the configuration options and ensure they are correct before completing the install. These settings can only be changed by re-running the installer.

This section provides a guide for using the Witness installer and covers each of the configuration options.
