	Chapter 1. Installing PostgreSQL and xTuple ERP

Perform the following steps on your Windows server:

Download our Windows plv8 bundle
- http://updates.xtuple.com/updates/plv8/win/xtuple_plv8.zip
Extract this archive to the server Desktop
Find the folder where PostgreSQL is installed. This should have sub-folders named bin, lib, shared, etc. Write down the full directory path, which looks something like C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3 for 64bit or C:\Program Files (x86)\PostgreSQL\9.3 for 32bit.
Open an Administrator command prompt on your Windows Server.
- Typically, Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right click on command prompt and Run as Administrator
- Alternatively, search for "Command Prompt", when it appears in the search results right click and Run as Administrator

Type the following (> is the shell prompt - don't type that part):

> cd %HOMEPATH%\Desktop\xtuple_plv8
> cd %HOMEPATH%\Desktop\xtuple_plv8
> install_plv8.bat

Choose what version of PostgreSQL that you are running
Enter the full path to the PostgreSQL installation directory when install_plv8.bat asks. If you make a mistake, it'll just ask again. Type CTRL-C to quit if you can't remember the full path.
install_plv8.bat will run for another second or two and you'll get a shell prompt back.

Now create the extension as described above.
