Installation

Ask flex.bi support to provide a download URL for the latest private flex.bi full distribution .zip file.

Unzip the downloaded full distribution .zip file in directory of your choice. It will create a flexbi_private subdirectory where all private flex.bi files will be located.

Note

On Windows there exists a length limit for the file path - 260 characters. Flex.bi has a deep nested directory structure. System full file paths may exceed this limitation if the flexbi_private directory is located deeply in a directory hierarchy. We recommended to create  flexbi_private folder directly in the root folder for Windows installations.
