Installing Cacti on a Windows system
The installation of Cacti on a Windows system is quite different from Linux. Most of the prerequisites that are already available on a Linux platform need to be installed on a Windows system. The MySQL database is an example of such a prerequisite. In the following sections you can find more information about the Windows installation and how you can overcome most of the manual installation procedures by making use of the community-built Windows Installer.
The community-built Windows Installer
Instead of installing every prerequisite individually, the community-built Windows Installer provides a convenient way of installing them together with Cacti.
