1. Introduction

The install of a Data Experience is executed in a different environment than that of the export. Please ensure that before moving forward with the following instructions you have an environment to install the data experience into.The install of a data experience MUST be done in the same version. Your source and target environment version MUST be the same (e.g. Source Version = 4.11 | Target Version = 4.11)

Below are the details that will be required for the installation environment:

• Source: <cinchy target url>

• UserID: <target user id>

• Password: <target password>

2. Install the Data Experience

Using Powershell you will now install the Data Experience you have exported out of Cinchy.

1. Open the File Explorer and navigate to your DX exported folder (Image 1).

The Powershell window will provide you with the required and optional components to install the DX.

7. You must now set up your mandatory install parameters

The parameters executed in Powershell can exist on one line in powershell, however for legibility (below) the parameters have been put on separate lines. If you are putting your parameters on separate lines you will be required to have backticks quote ` for the parameters to execute

Sample: .\CinchyDXD.ps1 install` -s "<target Cinchy url>" ` -u "<target user id>" ` -p "<target password>" ` -c "C:\Cinchy CLI v4.0.2" ` -d "C:\CLI Output Logs" `

Be sure that the user(s) and group(s) required to install a DX are existing in your target environment. If they are not, Powershell will generate an error message when you attempt to install the DX.

8. Enter the install parameters into the Powershell window (Image 7).
