Install the Mobile Engine 3.0

The Mobile Engine 3.0 is part of the Tricentis Tosca standard installation. For a simplified setup of iOS and Android devices in your in-house device labs, we recommend that you install Tricentis Mobile Agent (opens in new tab). With Tricentis Mobile Agent, you don't need to manually install Appium or Java components, or configure environment variables.

System requirements

For information about software versions and hardware requirements for test automation with the Mobile Engine 3.0, see the system requirements.

Configure the proxy server

If you use a proxy server and want to run your tests on a remote or cloud device, configure it through your environment variables or OS proxy settings. The Mobile Engine 3.0 reads the proxy configuration automatically.

We support the following environment variables:

Variable	Description
HTTP_PROXY	Proxy server for HTTP requests.
HTTPS_PROXY	Proxy server for HTTPS requests.
ALL_PROXY	Proxy server for both HTTP and HTTPS requests if HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY are not set.
NO_PROXY	Comma-separated list of hostnames to exclude from proxying. Use a leading dot to match subdomains. For example, .example.com matches www.example.com.

If no environment variable is set, the Mobile Engine reads the proxy configuration as follows:

• Windows: reads from the user's proxy settings.

• macOS: reads from the system's proxy settings.

• Linux: bypasses all addresses.
