Can we put this in the docs site instead of shipping? That way we can make updates after release.

<div class="platform-section">
<h3>🪟 Windows</h3>
<p><strong>Option A: Using the Service (Recommended)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The OIE service is installed and configured to start automatically</li>
<li>After installation completes, the service will start automatically</li>
<li>To manually manage the service:
<ul>
<li>Open Services (<code>services.msc</code>) or use the Server Manager</li>
<li>Find "Open Integration Engine Service"</li>
<li>Right-click and select "Start", "Stop", or "Restart"</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Option B: Using PowerShell/Command Line</strong></p>
<div class="command">sc start oieservice</div>
<p>Or navigate to the installation directory and run:</p>
<div class="command">.\oieserver.ps1</div>
</div>

<div class="platform-section">
<h3>🍎 macOS</h3>
<p><strong>Using the Service (Recommended)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The OIE service is installed and configured to start automatically</li>
<li><strong>Important:</strong> A system reboot is required for the service to start automatically</li>
<li>Alternatively, you can start the server manually from the installation directory:</li>
</ul>
<div class="command">./oieserver</div>
</div>

<div class="platform-section">
<h3>🐧 Linux</h3>
<p><strong>Option A: Using systemd (Recommended)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The OIE service is installed and configured to start automatically</li>
<li>To manually manage the service:</li>
</ul>
<div class="command">sudo systemctl start oieservice<br>sudo systemctl status oieservice</div>

<p><strong>Option B: Manual Start</strong></p>
<p>Navigate to the installation directory and run:</p>
<div class="command">./oieserver</div>
</div>

<h3>Step 2: Access the Administrator Console</h3>

<p>Once the server is running, you can access the Administrator Console:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>Web Browser:</strong> Navigate to <a href="http://localhost:8080">http://localhost:8080</a></li>
<li>Click the <strong>"Launch Administrator"</strong> button</li>
<li>This will download and launch the administrator client application</li>
</ul>

<div class="platform-section">
<h3>🖥️ Desktop Launcher (Windows)</h3>
<p>On Windows, you can also launch the Administrator directly from:</p>
<ul>
<li>Start Menu → Open Integration Engine → OIE Manager</li>
<li>Or run <code>oiemanager.exe</code> from the installation directory</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="important">
<strong>⚠️ Default Credentials:</strong><br>
Username: <code>admin</code><br>
Password: <code>admin</code><br>
<br>
<strong>Please change these credentials immediately after your first login for security purposes!</strong>
</div>

<h3>Step 3: Verify Installation</h3>

<p>To confirm the server is running properly:</p>
<ol>
<li>Check that the server is listening on ports 8080 (HTTP) and 8443 (HTTPS)</li>
<li>Review the logs in the <code>logs</code> directory for any errors</li>
<li>Log in to the Administrator Console and verify you can access the Dashboard</li>
</ol>

<h2>❓ Troubleshooting</h2>

<h3>Server Won't Start?</h3>

<li>Check file permissions on the installation directory</li>
</ul>

<h3>Can't Access Administrator Console?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Verify the server is running by checking the service status or logs</li>
<li>Ensure your firewall isn't blocking ports 8080 or 8443</li>
<li>Try accessing via IP address instead of localhost</li>
<li>Clear your browser cache and try again</li>
