Administrator's Guide
*********************

Traffic Control is distributed in source form for the developer, but also as a binary package. This guide details how to install and configure a Traffic Control CDN using the binary packages, as well as how to perform common operations running a CDN.

When installing a complete CDN from scratch, a sample recommended order is:

#. Traffic Ops DB (Postgresql)
#. `InfluxDB [Optional] <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb>`_
#. Traffic Vault (Riak) [Optional]
#. Fake Origin [Optional]
#. Traffic Ops
#. Traffic Portal
#. Initial Traffic Ops Dataset Setup [if applicable]
#. Traffic Monitor
#. Apache Traffic Server Mid-Tier Caches
#. Apache Traffic Server Edge-Tier Caches
#. Grove [Optional]
#. Traffic Router
#. `InfluxDB-relay [Optional] <https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-relay>`_
#. Traffic Stats [Optional]

Once everything is installed, you will need to configure the servers to talk to each other. You will also need Origin server(s), from which the Mid-Tier Cache(s) will obtain content. An Origin server is simply an HTTP(S) server which serves the content you wish to cache on the CDN.
