Running the Installer

Follow these steps to install BigFix Compliance Analytics.

Procedure

  1. Run the installer executable file as administrator. When you are prompted, extract the installer file to a folder. If you cannot run the installer from the folder, copy the installer outside the folder and run the file.
  2. Run bfc-server.exe from within the folder to begin the installation.
  3. You can change the installation path and port during installation.
    1. Installation path

    2. TCP port

    Note: BigFix Compliance Analytics uses HTTPS by default.
  4. Specify the user account that runs the BigFix Compliance Analytics service. If you configure HCL BigFix Analytics to connect to the SQL Server through a user that is authenticated through Windows, the HCL BigFix Analytics service must be configured to run as that same user.

  5. When the installation is completed, use the web interface to complete the setup of the HCL BigFix Analytics server.
  6. The final window of the installer prompts you to launch a web browser to complete the setup. Click Done.

    The BigFix Compliance Analytics web server may take a while to fully load. Allow time for the server to initialize.

    While the server is loading or during the database configuration, you might receive a message stating Not Found. This is expected. The page automatically reloads when it is ready.
