Create an iguana.ini file for custom installation

The iguana.ini file is intended for customers who need to customize their Iguana installation to configure a specific Working Directory and service details.

You can create your own iguana.ini file in a few steps:

To detect the file it must have the same filename as the executable and be in the same folder:

Windows Installation Example: "C:/Program Files/IguanaX/"
Linux Installation Example: "/home/ec2-user/"

If you have an IguanaX service uninstall it before continuing:

Windows: "C:\Program Files\IguanaX\iguana.exe" --service uninstall
Linux: sudo ./iguana --service uninstall
NOTE: We strongly recommend having only one instance per iguana.exe file

Create an iguana.ini file in the same directory as the iguana.exe file. The paths and names must match:

The contents of the iguana.ini file should look something like this (with your own values):

[server]
working_dir=C:\ProgramData\IguanaX\Webservices\
name=IguanaXWeb
display_name=Iguana X Webservices
description=Iguana instance for webservices

Install the service, Iguana will automatically check for an .ini file during the service install:

Windows: "C:\Program Files\IguanaX\iguana.exe" --service install
Linux: sudo ./iguana --service install

This is required for scenarios where you may need to embed Iguana into an install of your own software or Install multiple Iguanas on a single server.
