DOMINO SERVER INSTALLATION
Note If you plan to run multiple language versions of Domino with Web browsers, install the International English version of the Domino server as the base Domino installation.

Installing the Domino server in English first prevents error messages from displaying in other languages, even when you have selected English as the language preference in your Browser options.
For information on system requirements, see the Release Notes.
