Introduction
The ExtensionsManager by Apps for Tableau provides a centralized platform for managing all your Tableau products and extensions. This tool simplifies the installation, configuration, and execution of extensions, streamlining your workflow and enhancing productivity. This guide will walk you through installing the ExtensionsManager.
Prerequisite
There are a few prerequisites and things you’ll need before the installation:
A web domain, for example, <https://extension.company.com> (create a DNS entry) which points to the host of the extension.
SSL certificates for the above domain (the installation requires the domain’s `.crt` and private `.key` file, or a `.pfx` file).
Server Resources: 2 vCPU, 4Gb, 50Gb application disk space, 100Mbps or 1Gbps network-interface
Firewall rules permit access on the port the application will run on. Both internal, external, network and server-firewall.
Linux only: At installation the application will run on a random available port. This port should be temporarily be opened up to access the installation wizard.
VizSlides and Dreamteams only: Administrator access on Microsoft account (for the custom add-in setup for).
Please note that Tableau requires extensions to be running on HTTPS/SSL connection and therefore required!
