Row64 Server
Row64 Server is the service that delivers data to Row64 Studio. Before you can use Studio, you must connect to Server. Because of this dependence, we generally recommend setting up Server before Studio.
Optimization
Row64 Server is optimized for a Linux environment to provide the best uptime and security for dashboards. Linux is also the best operating system for the cloud as it allows for better customization and superior performance. If you are interested in learning more about the optimizations of the Row64 platform, you can read more at: Optimization Overview.
While Row64 Server operates in a Linux environment, this environment can be virtualized to operate over any other operating system, such as Windows or Mac, giving you maximum flexibility.
Installing Row64 Server
To get started with Row64 Server, please refer to the Server installation page for your desired platform.
Since Row64 Server is configured in a virtual environment when running on non-Linux operating systems, you have the freedom to use your preferred environment. If you want the easiest setup, we recommend using Windows and VirtualBox. Alternatively, if you prefer finding the best performance, we recommend setting up Server on WSL 2. You can find these platform recommendations back at the Installation Overview page.
