Heya! Quick note on how to setup and install Eggplant Studio on Windows
What you need:
- Eggplant Functional installer
- Eggplant license file
- RLM installer
- Under Supporting Installers at https://www.eggplantsoftware.com/eggplant-functional-downloads
- TightVNC remote desktop server
Step 1: Install Eggplant Functional
This one’s pretty straightforward, just launch the installer and follow the next steps on there.
Step 2: Download your license file
If you don’t have the license file you can download it from your Greenhouse account here http://greenhouse.eggplant.io
Download the key and you’ll get a .lic file
Step 3: Setup RLM license manager
Extract the contents of your RLM download (it will be a zipped file)
Copy RLM_Server_Win to C:\Program Files
Paste your license file inside RLM_Server_Win
Run RLM as a service
- Open CLI as Admin
- Navigate to Program Files\RLM_Server_Win folder
cd C:\Program Files\RLM_Server_Win - Run the following command
rlm -install_service -dlog <server.log>
At this point, RLM service would’ve been created but it’s still stopped.
To start the service: Open Task Manager >> Services tab >> Look for RLM and start it
Now that it’s running, check by launching Eggplant Functional
It shouldn’t ask for a license anymore
Step 4: Setup SUT
Install TightVNC on the machine/s you want to remotely control using Eggplant
Go back to Eggplant functional, create a new connection and test it out
End
