Installing MMS and MMA

In spite of its internal complexity, MMTE Server setup is very easy and straight-forward, in the “set and forget” style.

It is a step-by-step process:

Preparing Windows Server

1. Identify a Windows Server computer where MMTE Server will be installed. Log in to it. Make sure your user account has enough permissions (see User Accounts).

2. Confirm you have your Tableau account credentials (see Tableau Software Compatibility)

3. Confirm you have your PostgreSQL DB credentials (see Database Technical User Account)

4. Make sure you have MetaMiner Server installer at your disposal (see Getting the Trial Version)

5. Copy installer to the MMTE Server disk designated for the MMTE Server installation:
