Overview
This document provides instructions for installing the Akana API Platform version 2025.1. It covers a very simple scenario of setting up these containers:
- One container with Policy Manager and Community Manager installed

This document covers the following broad activities associated with the installation process:
- Planning the installation
- Performing the installation
- Completing associated installation tasks
Installation task sequence
There are different approaches to the installation tasks:
- You can create one container, configure it, and then create the next container, or you can create all containers and then configure the containers. It really doesn't matter. This documentation creates and configures the first container and then the next.
- You can install features and then configure them before installing plug-ins, or you can install features and plug-ins and then configure them. Again, it really doesn't matter. Just make sure all pending installation tasks are complete, on all containers, before creating the Community Manager developer portal tenant. This documentation installs features and plug-ins and then configures.
