Spotfire Server and Environment - Quick Start

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

  1. On the Spotfire Download site, go to the Spotfire Enterprise or Spotfire Server (for Spotfire Server software) page, or to the Spotfire Analytics, Spotfire Data Science, or Spotfire Analyst page (for Spotfire application software).
  2. At the bottom of the page, click Go to download, and log in if required.
  3. On the Spotfire Enterprise 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 Innovation (non-LTS) versions, see https://spotfi.re/lts.
  4. Under Download options, do one of the following:
    • To download all included software, select Full product download, click Download, and then follow the instructions.
    • To download only select files, select Individual file download:
      • Spotfire Server installer

        On the Spotfire Enterprise or Spotfire Server download page, expand the Spotfire Server Software category, and select the file corresponding to your operating system, SPOT_sfire_server_version_win.zip (Windows) or SPOT_sfire_server_version_linux.tar (Linux).

      • Deployment kit

        On the Spotfire Analytics, Spotfire Data Science, or Spotfire Analyst download page, expand the Spotfire Analytics or Spotfire Application category, and select SPOT_sfire_deploy_version.zip.

        This file contains the client packages that your end-users will receive when connecting to the server, as well as some prerequisites scripts needed for running the web client on Linux.

      • Spotfire application for Windows installer
        On the Spotfire Analytics, Spotfire Data Science, or Spotfire Analyst download page, expand the Spotfire Analytics or Spotfire Application category, and select the installer package of interest. In a Spotfire environment with a Spotfire Server, use one of the installer packages labeled enterprise:
        • SPOT_sfire-app_version_enterprise_shared_computer_win.zip
        • SPOT_sfire-app_version_enterprise_single_user_win.zip
    Note: The enterprise installation packages require that you connect to a Spotfire Server after installation. When you use the Windows application and log in to the server, you can use the functionality that your Spotfire user is entitled to, as defined by the assigned licenses and license features.
