Meet MicroStrategy Desktop

Let's look closely at MicroStrategy Desktop. In order to download the installation files, we should go to the MicroStrategy website (http://www.microstrategy.com/us/free-trial) and choose MicroStrategy Desktop. If we don't have the license key, we can obtain a 30-day trial period. It is enough for a proof of concept project or just for playing with the tool and getting a first impression of it.

There are two versions of Desktop:

Windows 64-bit
Mac

This gives us the opportunity to run Desktop even on Mac OS. There are many companies that prefer to use Mac instead of classical Windows. It is gives you much more flexibility. In our case, we use the Windows environment, where we run MicroStrategy Developer.

Let's install MicroStrategy Desktop and learn it through several exercises. In order to install it, just run the installation file and it will do all the work.

These are the main features of MicroStrategy Desktop:

Powerful Desktop analytics
Easily connects and blends data...
