### Test Data Extractor (TDX) Installation Guide

 

### Download the Software

TDX is downloaded from <https://storage.googleapis.com/data_extractor/orson-data-extractor.jar> .

&#x20;

TDX should be run on a Windows-based server.  We do not recommend trying to run it from a Linux/Unix based server.

&#x20;

### Create the Directory(s)

Create a directory under ‘Program Files’ for the software.  We recommend ‘Data Extractor’ or ‘TDX’ as the directory name.

&#x20;

Create a sub-directory under this labelled ‘Profiles’.  This is the directory that you will store saved profiles in.

&#x20;

Place the downloaded file in this directory.      &#x20;

&#x20;

### Start TDX

To start TDX, open a terminal window from the windows start menu.

&#x20;

Right-click the windows icon in your taskbar and select ‘Terminal’.

&#x20;

&#x20;

In the terminal window, change the directory to your Data Extractor directory.

&#x20;

Then enter the command :

&#x20;

java -jar orson-data-extractor.jar -gui  \<Enter>

&#x20;
