## 3 Installing cosTime

### 3.1 Installation Process

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

#### 3.1.1 Preparation

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

#### 3.1.2 Configuration

When using both the Time and TimerEvent Services the `cosTime` application first must be installed using `cosTime:install_time()` and `cosTime:install_timerevent()`, followed by `cosTime:start()`. Now we can choose which can start the servers by using `cosTime:start_time_service(Tdf, Inaccuracy)` and `cosTime:start_timerevent_service(TimeService)`.
