In this guide we'll run you through installing qTest Parameters 1.1 on a Windows Machine
Before you begin
Before you install qTest Parameters 1.1, make sure following things are done:
- Your machine needs to satisfy qTest's recommended hardware requirement
- qTest Manager 8.4.4 has been deployed
- MongoDB 3.2.11 has been installed with replication. Follow these instructions to install MongoDB on your machine.
- After installing MongoDB, follow these steps to create root user and start Mongo service with replica.
- To start MongoDB Service, run the command:
mongod- Add new root user:
mongo
use admin
db.createUser(
{
user: "root",
pwd: "password",
roles: [ "root" ]
})
- Stop Mongo service and start Mongo service with replica:
mongod --replSet "rs0"
- Run mongo, initiate()
mongo
rs.initiate()
