Arkio deployment installers can be provided to our Enterprise users. You can learn more about our licenses on our website For access to these installers you can send us an email at hello@arkio.is

Installation instructions

Arkio can be deployed to multiple workstations and virtual machines using a silent Arkio deployment installer. System admins can use deployment software like PDQdeploy together with our deployment MSI installer to customize the setup. A default quiet installation can be achieved with:

msiexec.exe /i \\cd-pdqdeploy\c$\YOURPATH\Arkio_vXXX.msi /quiet

Optional features can be added independently by command line and filling "Yes" or "No"

All the plugins will be installed by default if no features are selected.

/qn INSTALL_REVIT="Yes" INSTALL_RHINO="Yes" INSTALL_SKETCHUP="No"

Predefined configurations of Arkio can be used to preset runtime details for Arkio like the license

You can download and edit a simple Arkio.config file where you can add your Arkio floating license details

{
"ActivateLicenseKey":"xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx"
}
This file can be placed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Arkio\Arkio_Data\StreamingAssets 
To make Arkio fill and validate a license automatically on startup for the deployed devices (when no license was filled)
If the users would open Arkio for the first time on their devices. Arkio will generate the appropriate import/export folders for the various plugins at the %userprofile%\Documents\Arkio. The plugins of Arkio should appear for the users when opening their applications.
Please note: This installer will not auto-update Arkio and the plugins so you will have to manually roll out a new version when an update gets available. For critical users that always need the latest version to host meetings with devices that are auto-updated (eg iOS and Quest) you can best use the updating installer from our website
