Getting started
New TIBCO Spotfire® administrators can begin by learning how a Spotfire® implementation is put together and how it works, and then use the Quick Start Guide to begin setting up a pre-production environment. For experienced Spotfire administrators, the Release Notes describe new features and other changes.

documentation will be available at

the upper-right corner of a

New Spotfire administrators:
- The
Quick Start Guide provides a short introduction to the
Spotfire environment, and then takes you through the required steps for a
simple
Spotfire
configuration:
TIBCO Spotfire® Server
on one computer, the
TIBCO Spotfire® Analyst
client on another, the node manager installed, the
TIBCO Spotfire® Web Player,
TIBCO Spotfire® Automation
Services
(if purchased), and the TIBCO® Enterprise Runtime for R - Server Edition (TERR
service) or Spotfire Service for Python (if purchased) available on all network
computers, and user authentication through the
