Install the Platform Analytics reporting server on a Windows host by installing Tableau Server and deploying the Platform Analytics report package.
The intended Platform Analytics reporting host must meet the Tableau Server system requirements. For more details, refer to Prepare for the Platform Analytics installation.
You can also install the Platform Analytics reporting server on the Platform Analytics server host if the Platform Analytics server host is running Windows. The Platform Analytics reporting server can run on the same host as the Platform Analytics server if this host meets the system requirements of both the Tableau server and the Platform Analytics server software.
The Platform Analytics Designer is optional and is used for dashboard design or customization. You can install the Platform Analytics Desktop on any host with Windows XP or above installed.
