- I'm new to Alteryx and very impressed with its capabilities. This course is immensely valuable to understanding the basic concepts and capabilities of Alteryx. Highly recommended!!! Mohit Kumar ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: It was very nice way to teach and explained very well. I cleared all doubts via these videos and did practice on same time.
R (programming language) R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. An Alteryx version for Mac OS X sounded like a nice idea. Although there are options for using bootcamp with windows 7-8 or some virtualisation software as mentioned in a community post here. Rationale 1 (Competitors do it).
Automated installation
Three servers are required to run Promote. For more information, see the System Requirements.
The automated installation is packaged into an .RPM binary file that you can install on the three servers to be used with Promote. The package installs a daemonized web server that you can interact with on port 8000 through a GUI. You are prompted to register (username and password are required, and are supplied by Alteryx Fulfillment) and then are taken through a series of steps to download and install Promote. When the process is finished (approximately 15 minutes), you are redirected to the Alteryx Promote registration page.
Extract the installation file
- Extract the Alteryx Promote installation file you obtained. Type:
- Navigate to the extracted Promote 2019.3.0 installation directory. Type:
Copy .RPM to servers
The .RPM file must be copied to each server in order to run the installer. For Windows users, we suggest a file transfer utility such as WinSCP, or the Linux subsystem shell if enabled in the OS. For Mac and Linux users, we recommend copying the file via SSH (secure shell).
- Ensure you have SSH access to the remote cluster with a key pair (see System requirements/SSH)
- Using SCP (secure copy protocol), copy the .RPM file to each node. Type:
Typing the colon after the IP address will send the file to the default user home directory. On a new CentOS 7 machine, the default home directory is /home/centos.
If you receive a permissions error from SCP, try specifying your SSH key. Type:
Install .RPM
- Install .RPM file on all three servers using a package manager. By default, CentOS uses Yum and RPM.
- Type:
Now that RPM is installed, you can view the installer GUI.

Alteryx If Statement
Andy MacIsaac, Director, Industry Solutions, Public Sector at Alteryx, says IT modernization should be looked at like digital transformation: evolving the convergence of people, process and technology. All three of those parts are equally important. From an analytics perspective, it’s how to infuse data into that overall transformation process.
Alteryx For Macro
He cites an example of an analyst who’s doing geospatial analysis to look at how services are available for people who are suffering substance abuse disorders. By informing that insight, he can take his analytics to policymakers so they can make better decisions. That drives better collaboration with state government, with care providers and also with federal government. But really, it improves the availability of health services to infected populations.
