      Before Installing

      Minimum Client Requirements

      • A business class PC with moderate specs for CPU/RAM is acceptable, however, a low-end consumer PC is not recommended.
        • Min: 8Gb RAM
        • Min: Multi-Core CPU
      • Operating System: Windows 10 or 11, with most recent updates applied.

      DataJet Credentials (From DataJet)

      Credentials
      Usernames and passwords are normally created by an organisation on their own Identity Provider, such as Okta, Auth0 or Keycloak.
      • DataJet Data Realm, as provided by DataJet via email.
      • DataJet Username.
      • DataJet User Initial Password.

      Step 1: Download and Extract the Software

      There is no install required. The files just need to be downloaded and the program started.
      1. Download the software by going to https://download.datajet.app/desktop in a browser. This will download a .zip file to the client Downloads folder.
      2. Double click on the downloaded .zip file and 'Extract all'. Ensure that a location is choosen in the Windows folders where there is permission to launch an app (i.e. normally extract under the user directory, not the C: drive). A new folder named "datajet-desktop" will appear containing all the DataJet Desktop files.

      Updates
      If a notification is recieved that there is a new version of DataJet Desktop available the update process is as follows:

      1. Close DataJet Desktop if it is currently running on the client computer.
      2. Delete the entire "datajet-desktop" folder and its contents from the previous installtion.
      3. Follow the steps under "Installation" above.

      Step 2: Start DataJet Desktop

      To log in, see Logging Into DataJet Desktop.
