Install for Wrangler Enterprise Application

If your environment does not support the use of Chrome, you can install the Wrangler Enterprise desktop application to provide the same access and functionality as the Designer Cloud® application. This desktop application connects to the enterprise Alteryx instance and provides the same capabilities without requiring a locally installed version of Chrome browser. 

Designer Cloud application is a hybrid desktop application.Your local application instance accesses registered data files located in the datastore to which the Alteryx server is connected.

Download

To begin, you must download the following Windows MSI file (TrifactaEnterpriseSetup.msi) from the location where your software was provided.

If you are planning to automate installation to desktops in your environment, please also download setTrifactaServer.ps1.

Setup

Before you begin, you should perform any necessary configuration of the Alteryx Server before deploying the instances of the application. See Configure for Trifacta Enterprise Application.

Install for Windows

Steps:

1. On your Windows desktop, double-click the MSI file. 
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.

Windows Command Line Installation and Configuration

As an alternative, you can perform installation and initial configuration from the command line. Download the MSI and the PS1 files to a local directory that is accessible.

Install software:

msiexec /i <path_to_TrifactaEnterpriseSetup.msi> /passive

Configure URL of Alteryx Server:

setTrifactaServer.ps1 -trifactaServer <server_url> -installDir <local_dir>
