Install Tricentis Tosca

This chapter gives an overview of the Tricentis Tosca installation.

To get an overview of all tasks that administrators need to perform to set up Tricentis Tosca for users, see chapter "Set up Tricentis Tosca".

Prerequisites

To install Tosca, you have to meet these requirements:

  • You have downloaded the installation package.

  • You have administrator rights on the machine where you install Tosca.

  • The user of the machine on which you install Tosca has write permission for the directory %TRICENTIS_PROJECTS%, so they can work with Tosca.

  • You have all necessary software and hardware listed in the Tosca system requirements.

  • The ports that Tricentis Tosca requires are free.

Installation process

You can install Tricentis Tosca in one of the following ways:

During installation, Tricentis Tosca installs all default AddIns. For some of these AddIns, for instance Requirements Management, you need a separate license.

If you don't have a license for a particular AddIn, you can view its objects in Tricentis Tosca, but you can't edit them.

Manage settings

If you want to adjust specific settings for individual work stations after the installation, Tricentis recommends that you first perform a prototype installation on one machine.

By default, Tricentis Tosca stores settings files at C:\Program Files(x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Testsuite\. This directory contains the following sub-directories (see chapter " Hierarchy of the Settings Files"):

  • DistributedExecution\Settings for Tosca Distributed Executions

  • Licensing\Settings\ for Licensing

  • TBox\Settings\ for Engines 3.0

  • Classic\dll\Settings\XML\ for general Tricentis Tosca settings

You can then copy the settings files into the corresponding directory on the target computers. This allows you to configure settings which you cannot configure during the installation process. These are managed directly by the central software administration.

Maintain the installation
