Is there any bullet point steps to install QWC?

i.e.

Open port 5555 on the QWC server and all the Qlik Sense Central & Rim nodes
Has to be Window 2022 server
4 core cpu & 16GB RAM
Do not install in Program Files folder
.......

Hi @HaseebIqbal

I am running multiple instances of QWC without the need of a SSL.

Also note that a lot of the connectors are in QS natively now. But there are still some that is only available on QWC.

Here is a the Simple installation guide.

This will just run it. As an executable. Its best to install it as a service. Here is the link

Thanks.

Will it block/prompt anything from running while Qlik Sense Central/Rim node asks for connection?

Context: We are trying to use it because our Qlik is behind firewall and there is requirement to access cloud sources using the Internet Proxy server.

Hi @HaseebIqbal

I don't believe so - Might be worth a test.
