Tester manual

Install Tester

Install Tester 1.x on a supported Windows, Linux or Apple Silicon host.

Prerequisites

Use Python 3.10 or newer and Node.js with npm. Web execution needs a supported browser and matching driver. Mobile execution needs Appium plus the platform SDK and an attached device or simulator.

Install from a signed release

  1. Download the package and release manifest from your claim page.
  2. Verify the SHA-256 checksum and package signature before extracting it.
  3. Create a virtual environment and install the locked Python dependencies.
  4. Run tester build, then tester doctor.
  5. Set both local administrator variables and start the managed service.

Do not skip verification

The release manifest includes a checksum, signature, SBOM, feature-update date and security-support date. Stop if the hash or signature does not match.
