This document applies to both Discus 4.0 and 4.1. Please note that if you are upgrading from Discus Freeware to Discus Professional, you need another document.

• Unix - Telnet/SSH Installation Instructions (Discus 4.0 | Discus 4.1): Use this document if your website is hosted on a unix server, and you have the ability to log in to that machine and get a command prompt via a telnet or SSH session. Some, but not all, remotely hosted situations offer this access.

• Windows - Console Installation Instructions (Discus 4.0 | Discus 4.1): Use this document if your website runs on a Windows server, and you have the ability to sit down in front of that machine to type and run programs.
