Hardware requirements

The minimum system requirement to run Autify Nexus is a 2-core CPU with 4GB RAM. However, for smoother operation we recommend a 4-core CPU with 16GB RAM.

Be aware that in some cases, for test execution, you may need more powerful hardware based on the complexity or resource requirements of your web application.

Network requirements

If your plan includes remote workspaces and cloud execution, make sure your network has been configured to allow the following:

License

If you have received a license file from Autify, save it in a safe location on your computer. Make sure it is in a readable, non-temporary folder in your file system before you proceed with installation.

Organization account

If your plan includes remote workspaces and cloud execution, you will need server information and an account to sign in to Autify Nexus. If you have not yet received this information, contact our support team for assistance.

Windows

Open the installer, with elevated permissions if possible, and complete the installation as instructed.

macOS

Initial Setup

After installation is complete, Autify Nexus will automatically launch. If it does not, start the application by clicking on it.

At the first launch, you will be prompted to either sign in to Autify Nexus or select a license file. Use the login information or license file given to you by Autify or your administrator. If you are an administrator trying to set up Autify Nexus for the first time, see First-time administrator account registration.

Upon successful sign in or license validation, you will then be prompted to choose some initial application settings. If you aren’t sure, leave the settings at their default values and click Confirm to start using Autify Nexus. These settings and more can be changed at any time by clicking the cog () in the bottom left of the application.
