Downloading installation software

To install or update Spotfire Server you must download all of the required software components to the computer that will run the server.

Before you begin

You must have access to the required software on the Spotfire Download website. If you do not have access, contact your sales representative.

Procedure

On the Spotfire Download site, go to the Spotfire Server page.
At the bottom of the page, click Go to download, and sign in to the site if required.
On the server download page, select the latest version and your platform, and select the license agreement check box.

Note: Some Spotfire releases are designated long-term support (LTS) versions; for information about how LTS versions differ from mainstream (non-LTS) versions, see https://spotfi.re/lts.
Under Download options, do one of the following:
- To download the entire product, including language packs and developer software, select Full product download, click Download, and then follow the instructions.
- To download fewer files, do the following:
  1. Select Individual file download.
  2. Next to Spotfire Server Software, click the plus sign.
  3. Select SPOT_sfire_deploy_version.zip.
    This file contains the client packages that your end-users will receive when connecting to the server.
  4. Depending on your target host operating system, select either SPOT_sfire_server_version_win.zip (Windows) or SPOT_sfire_server_version_linux.tar (Linux).
    This file contains the server installation or upgrade files.
    
    The following example shows the approximate location of the required software components for Windows. Note that you will need both the server file and the deploy file to upgrade your environment. The Linux options are similar.
  5. Select the packages for other services you want to deploy, or documents to download.
  6. Unzip any zipped files that you downloaded to a folder on your desktop.
