AD Web is a self-contained service that runs on either Windows or Linux. Although it deals with Active Directory, it works seemless from Linux too. It does not require IIS, Nginx, Apache or a separate database server to get started — it runs on its own built-in web server. Follow the section for your platform below, then complete the common setup steps that apply to both.
Windows Installation

adweb-win-64.exe. - Run the setup: Double-click
adweb-win-64.exeand follow the setup wizard. It guides you through the usual installation steps and installs KeysCom on your machine. - Launch KeysCom: Once installation completes, KeysCom starts and is ready to use.

http://localhost:6060to begin the first-run setup wizard.
Linux Installation

First-Run Setup Wizard
The very first time you browse to KeysCom it redirects you to a short setup wizard. In a few steps you will create your administrator account, name your store, choose your currency and set your default country. When you finish, the wizard writes your settings, seeds sensible defaults and takes you to the admin sign-in page. From then on the store boots straight to your storefront.
Sign In
After setup, sign in at http://localhost:6060 using the administrator account that belongs to the super admin group you configured. The admin back office is where you manage everything — settings, domains, branding, email delivery and more.
Configure Email Delivery
Open Admin » Email Delivery and enter your SMTP details (host, port, security, username and password) so AD Web can send order and invoice emails. Use the built-in “Send test email” button to confirm your settings before going live. If you are sending through Gmail or Microsoft 365, generate an app password for the account and paste it as the SMTP password.
Go Live
When you are ready for production, add a public HTTPS endpoint with your certificate from Admin » Endpoints, switch your payment gateways to live keys, and point your domain at the server. For online gateways, configure the payment webhook URL in each provider’s dashboard so payment confirmations are captured reliably even if a customer closes their browser.
