This topic describes the steps for installing SkyVault in a distributed environment.
  
 
  The main stages involved in installing SkyVault in a cluster are shown in the High-level
    flowchart below. You must install and configure your data on a single node first and then on
   the second node, and so on. 
  The main steps involved in the installing process include preparing your system for
   installation, installing SkyVault on a single
    node, installing SkyVault on node 2, and finally, testing and getting familiar to
   SkyVault. Repeat the last two steps on all the other nodes in your system in series. 
 
  Each of these main stages consist of sub-steps, as shown in the 
Detailed flowchart
   below. The 
Detailed flowchart displays the sub-steps that need to be performed in order to
   complete each main stage.
Note: Note that the steps shown in the High-level flowchart have
    a colour code, which corresponds to the same colour coded steps in the Detailed
    flowchart. For example, Preparing for install stage consists of four sub-steps, namely,
    Software requirements, Language support, Validate the architecture, Validate the environment,
    and Recommended distribution.
Note: Make sure you do not install and configure all the
    nodes in parallel. Follow in the installation process in series for all the nodes in your
    system.
