<big>We shall install the Cumulus software listed on [[Software]] page</big>:
# '''CumulusMX''':
#* '''CumulusMX.exe''' is written in C#, that has been developed by Mark Crossley,
#* Download '''CumulusMX zip file’’’ from the link at[[Software#Latest_build_distribution_download]]

=How to run MX=
We need to run MX in order for it to generate a web server that will enable us to see the [[MX_Administrative_Interface|admin interface]] where we can change [[Cumulus.ini|settings]], view our weather data, or edit various [[:Category:Cumulus_Files|Cumulus files]] (extreme records or log files).
If this is your first run of MX, please see [[First_Run_of_MX|First Run of MX page]].
There are two ways to run MX:
|
# '''Navigate to the folder with your MX installation'''.
# '''Install MX service''' (as an administrative user) using <code>CumulusMX.exe -
# '''MX is now set up as a service'''.
# There are other optional parameters (e.g. -port, -debug, -locale) you can add by editing registry
=Access to admin interface=
The admin interface URL '''http://*:8998/''' needs to have that wildcard "*" replaced by a precise location if we are to access the [[MX_Administrative_Interface|admin interface]] to change [[Cumulus.ini|settings]], view our weather data, or edit various [[
The missing part of the URL depends on how your local network is set up.
*If you are accessing the admin interface on the same device as that running MX then the "*" can be replaced by "localhost", i.e. '''http://localhost:8998/''' will be used to load the admin interface into your browser.
** (Note "localhost" will work even if you host your own database server or own web server, each of these uses a different port number to ensure the correct server is loaded)
*In the more general case when you want to access the admin interface from anywhere on your local wired and wireless interface, then the "*" needs to be replaced by a string of 4 numbers representing what is called a IPv4 address (w.x.y.z) of the device you have installed MX on.
