If you are installing multiple IguanaX instances on a single server, you will need to perform a custom installation:

For reference see Windows Installation and Linux Installation.

Please see Create an iguana.ini file for custom installation to follow the Steps 1 - 3 to create a custom iguana.ini file with your desired Iguana working directory and service details.

Since we are deploying multiple Iguana instances, we’ll want to make sure all of the iguana.ini details are unique!

You can use the web.json Web Configuration File or the following command line utility to change the web port. Make sure the service is stopped to change the web port to use the specified port on next run:

iguana --set_web_port 7650

  1. Copy and paste the existing iguana.exe and iguana.ini files.

  2. Rename the files to iguana2.exe and iguana2.ini.

  3. Open the iguana2.ini file, change the working directory and service details, then save.

Open up a command prompt as administrator and run the command suitable for your OS:

Windows command:

"C:\Program Files\IguanaX\iguana2.exe" --service install

Linux command:

sudo ./iguana2 --service install
