Installation Steps

Pre-requisites

Download installer

Download Analyst installer file ("Analyst_Installer.exe") from Solargis Admin page:

Internet access

Access to https://apps.solargis.com/home/analyst and api.solargis.com is needed during the installation and runtime of the Analyst application.

User permissions

Permissions to execute the installed software on the user computer and to access to Windows user home directory (especially the Start menu folder) are required for running Solargis Analyst.

Firewall settings

Before the first Analyst run, you need to allow Analyst to access the internet if prompted. It is required for a) license validation - mandatory, b) upgrades, c) getting (purchased) the data directly from Solargis web.

CPU usage

During the installation process, it may happen that the system seems to be non-responding (on some machines a message "Installer is not responding" can appear as well for some time). However, the Analyst Installer process very likely continues running despite the non-responding warning message.

Installer not responding

In case the installation process seems to have stopped, we suggest keeping waiting for the process to finish and ensure that:

  • your laptop battery is charged and not in energy-saving mode

  • PC is not overloaded by other programs

  • PC has enough available disk space

  • Check whether the performance of your computer is sufficient
