When you are ready to begin deploying the Relay Controller software, you should being by downloading the Release Software from the ftp server, it should be with the MyChild6 releases and should be named something like `McTech.RelayController.<Version>.zip`

File Deployment:

For purposes of this guide, we will assume you have downloaded the .zip file from the last step in c:\temp on the target system.

Follow these steps

• Start by unpacking the zip file
• Create a new folder at C:\Program Files\McRoberts Technologies\McTech_RelayController 
• Copy the files from C:\temp\<Name_Of_Folder from step 1> into the newly created folder in step 2

Once completed, you have now successfully installed the McTech Relay Controller software, next we want to create a windows service to automatically start the software when the computer boots, to do this, run the install-service.ps1 file that should be in the same folder as the files copied from the zip folder.

Now that the Relay Controller has been installed & a windows service created, follow the steps in the Configuration Guide to get it all setup and running.
