Installing Eggplant DAI on Windows

1. Download the Eggplant DAI installation file from the Eggplant DAI Downloads page.

3. On the Advanced installer Options screen, select Run Advanced Install Configuration checkbox to enable the option to specify ports, or change the PostgreSQL data location and click Next to continue.
4. On the Installation Directory screen, use the default installation directory (C:\Program Files\ Digital Automation Intelligence) or use the file browser to select the desired installation directory. Click Next to continue your installation.

   On the PostgresSQL Data Directory screen, you might need to enter a path for the current installation of Eggplant DAI. Use the following information to decide whether this step is necessary for your installation:

   • If you're happy with the default path, then leave this field as-is.
   • lf you want to use a different directory, then add the path for the current application data (<install directory>/pgsql/data) by clicking the Choose Directory field.

   • If you want to configure the installer to use the Postgres data directory that was left behind after uninstalling Eggplant AI 3.1, then add the path of the previous installation folder (e.g., C:\eggplantAI\pgsql) by clicking the Choose Directory field.

5. Click Next to continue to the next screen.
6. When prompted, set the default HTTP port as follows:
   • If port 8000 is available, the installation suggests using port 8000. Click Next to continue.
   • If port 8000 is not available, you can enter the HTTP port you want to use.
7. Leave the Report usage statistics checkbox selected to let Eggplant collect your usage statistics. Typically, the usage report will include: Product Identifier, Product Version, Host OS, Host OS Version, and License (Serial Number) information. You can disable this option by clearing the checkbox. Note that this option is only available if the Run Advanced Install Configuration checkbox is enabled.
8. On the Select Start Menu Folder screen, if you want to use a different directory, browse to select it. Click Next to continue or Back to return and make changes.
9. On the Ready to Install screen, click Install to continue or Back to return and make changes. If you click Install, the installation begins. The installation step takes some time to complete.
10. Click Finish to complete the installation.

See Licensing AI to open Eggplant DAI and manage your Eggplant DAI licenses.

Changing the Eggplant DAI Port

Although Eggplant DAI assigns port 8000 by default during installation, you can specify a different port later on:

1. Open C:\ProgramData\Eggplant\Digital Automation Intelligence\settings.ini
   Important: The C:\ProgramData folder might not initially be visible, as it is a hidden folder by default.
2. Find the [settings] section. Update the line server_port=8000 to include the port you want to use.
3. Save your work.
4. Restart the Digital Automation Intelligence Windows service.

Initial Login and Licensing

When Eggplant DAI is installed and running, you access the application in a browser. On your initial login, you must create an administrator account and enter your license key. Follow these steps to complete your initial login:

1. Launch your browser from any computer that has access to the Eggplant DAI server and enter the appropriate URL:
   • To display the login prompt from the computer on which the Eggplant DAI server is running, enter http://localhost:8000.
   • To display the login prompt from a remote computer, enter http://<serverIPaddress>:8000 where <serverIPaddress> is the Eggplant DAI server's IP address or fully qualified domain name.
   Note: To obtain the IP address of the Eggplant DAI server, see your local IT administrator. Distribute the URLs from this step to all users requiring access to this Eggplant DAI application.
2. Eggplant DAI prompts you to set up an administrator account. Enter an email address (username) and password for the account.
   

   Enter your initial admin credentials and license key for Eggplant DAI

   After you've configured the administrator account, you can use it to set roles for other users requesting access. See Approving New Users for more information.
3. Enter a license key. You can generate this in the Greenhouse Licensing Web Portal.
4. Click OK.

After your account is created, a new Login dialog box appears prompting you to log in to Eggplant AI. After you've entered your valid credentials, the Model Hub appears.

Greenhouse Licensing Web Portal

As an Eggplant customer, you have access to the Greenhouse licensing web portal, where you can review and create available license keys as well as download generated licenses for your account.

You can also use this portal to submit questions to support and view information about any support cases.

You should receive your initial Greenhouse login information from your account manager. If you don't have a password, you'll need to contact your account manager or sales@eggplant.io. If you need an Eggplant DAI license, contact your account manager or Eggplant Support.
