Online Installation

This page will guide you through the installation steps for the online version of EESP. The online version connects to the EESP Console hosted on AWS at https://vertigo.altheria.com. Therefore, this setup requires internet connection to work. If your organization has strict security requirements you can install the EESP Console on your own infrastructure completely disconnected from the internet.

The online installation is by far the easiest and is recommended for most users.

The installation process will begin and should not take longer than a couple minutes.
