Download and Install Alteryx Data Packages

Follow the steps below to download, install, and activate a dataset from the Alteryx Licensing & Downloads portal. Alteryx compresses datasets using 7z, a file archive format. You can download 7zip from www.7-zip.org. To manage a license for partner data or any product license that uses SRC (.srclc) licenses, visit Manage Partner Data Licenses.

Prepare a Network Install

A network installation allows Alteryx Designer users to point to a central location instead of a local directory. Users can be online or offline. To prepare a network installation...

1. Create or identify 2 folders:
   • A temporary folder for extracting the contents of the zip file.
   • A shared network folder for users of the dataset.
2. Download a dataset zip file and extract the contents of the zip file to the temporary folder. Delete this folder after you have installed the data to a network folder.
3. Run AlteryxDataInstall.exe and select all datasets you want to install.
4. Select Prepare a Network Install and point to the shared network folder where you want to install the data. The user will run the AlteryxDataInstall.exe from this location.
5. Select any previously installed datasets you want to uninstall. Select Replace to auto-select all datasets you are updating.
6. Install the datasets.

Users will navigate to the AlteryxDataInstall.exe located in the shared network folder when they register to use the installed datasets.
