Installing on MicroStrategy Desktop/Workstation

Download

For both desktop and workstation applications, download the desktop version of VitaraCharts.
You can find the latest links for download from our download site at Main page

On MicroStrategy Desktop and Workstation we no longer enforce license validation. So use of VitaraCharts is freely permitted on these applications.

Open an existing MicroStrategy dossier or choose to create a new dossier.
You will see a + sign to add visualizations..
Now point to the VitaraCharts.zip that you downloaded .
Once the vitara visualization imported successfully, you will see a message stating all the custom visualizations imported successfully.

In order to use the workstation in “connected to environment” mode, you must install the ViaraCharts plugin on the MicroStrategyLibrary server to which workstation is connected. Please follow the MicroStrategyLibrary installation steps here https://docs.vitaracharts.com/installation/libraryInstallSteps.html
In addition to this, you have to deploy the VitaraCharts plugin locally on your machine. Go to the MicroStrategy Workstation installation folder in your local machine. Navigate to \Code\plugins\ folder and unzip downloaded VitaraCharts.zip file here.
For example, in the windows machine below is the path of the folder where you have to deploy the VitaraCharts plugin.
C:\Program Files\MicroStrategy\Workstation\Code\plugins*
