### 3.1 Installation Process

This chapter describes how to install cosProperty in an Erlang Environment.

#### 3.1.1 Preparation

Before starting the installation process for cosProperty, the application Orber must be running.

#### 3.1.2 Configuration

First the cosProperty application must be installed by using `cosProperty:install()` and, if requested, `cosProperty:install_db()`, followed by `cosProperty:start()`. Now we can start the desired Factory type by using either `cosProperty:start_SetFactory()` or `cosProperty:start_SetDefFactory()`.
