Version:
2019.3
Last modified: March 25, 2021

Alteryx is supported on desktop computers, stand-alone servers, and virtual machine environments with the following minimum requirements.

Required Minimums for Server 2019.3

Machine 64-bit
OS Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 or later
Chip Quad core (single chip)
Processor 2.5 GHz or faster
RAM 16 GB
Disk Size 1 TB

Other Requirements

Administrator rights Administrator rights are required to install Alteryx Server.
Predictive tools install In order to use the Predictive Tools, they must be included in the install of Alteryx Server. 
Base address The base address is the URL that users will use to access the Gallery. The URL defaults to http://localhost/gallery/ which can be used to run the Gallery locally on the machine.
SMTP server Notifications and account validations are managed via email. SMTP host information is required for Gallery email notifications.
Default Gallery Administrator

This depends on the type of notification selected when the server settings were configured. The Gallery administrator is given permission to access the Gallery and manage users and workflows.

  • If using Windows Authentication, provide the user name of a domain user.
  • If using Built-in Authentication, provide the email address of the site administrator during configuration and then provide the first name and last name on sign in to complete the Gallery Admin account registration.
Database type

If you are configuring the machine to run a Gallery instance, you must use MongoDB. MongoDB version 4.0 is embedded with Server 2019.3 and newer. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 2018.1, you will need to upgrade to a version between 2018.1-2019.2 before upgrading to 2019.3. MongoDB versions 3.0, 3.4 and 4.0 are supported for User-managed instances.

  • For embedded MongoDB, the automatically generated host, user name, and password are available for you to use.
  • For User-managed MongoDB, specify this information based on the configuration of your MongoDB instance(s).

If you were previously using SQLite for Alteryx Scheduler, jobs must be manually re-scheduled when switching to MongoDB.
