Downloading Spotfire Cloud Analyst

If you have a Spotfire Cloud account you can download Spotfire Cloud Analyst—this is a full-featured version of Spotfire that works on your desktop. I recommend that you download it as soon as you can—it's more powerful than the web-based clients, and some of the exercises in this book can only be performed using an analyst client.

To download and install Spotfire Cloud Analyst, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you're logged in to your TIBCO Cloud account and Spotfire has been launched (like we did previously).
2. Dismiss the left-hand panel by clicking anywhere on the right-hand side of the window.
3. You should be left with a blank Spotfire screen—from the File menu, choose View library:

1. Click Downloads under Resources:

1. Click DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS.
2. Once the download has finished, install the application as you would do so with any other Windows application.
