# Server Tools Installation

Server Tools is distributed as a .MSI file, ExpereServerTools.msi, and includes the following tools.

Expere Administration Tool | Provides repository management features for Expere content
Doc Preview Builder for Apache FOP tool | Used to create document previews as PDF files in a batch process outside of the Requirements Editor based on the installed Apache rendering engine
Customer Facing Outline tool | A command line tool used to generate document outlines, also in batch, outside of the Requirements Editor

Server Tools installs independently of the Requirements Editor and there is no requirement to have the Requirements Editor installed on the same computer as Server Tools.

There are two options available when installing the application; default and advanced.

- Default: Installs the application and tools to the default install location and for all users on the machine.
- Advanced: Installs the application and tools with options to customize the installation by selecting an install folder and to install for a single user on the machine.
