Prerequisites

This section details the prerequisites for using Xpress Insight.

Software Prerequisites

Before installing Xpress Insight, you should install:
  • FICO Xpress 9.1
  • Java is required. Always install the most recent available version, such as Java™ 11.0.2 or later, Oracle Java or OpenJDK 11.0.2 64-bit - FICO recommends Amazon Coretto.
    Note: Keytool, shipped as part of Java, is also required.
    • For Linux, go to /usr/local/java/bin# ./keytool.
    • For Windows, find the JDK install path and check bin folder.
    Important: Xpress Insight deployment requires a Java JDK. Executing with a JRE is not supported.
  • The latest version of Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome
  • MySQL v8.0 or above – If MySQL storage is preferred, this should be installed by the customer and as it is not provided by FICO.

Installing MySQL

Xpress Insight can use the file storage associated with your operating system or MySQL. If you wish to use MySQL you must install your own copy of the software using MySQL version 8.0 or above. The installation files and instructions are available on the MySQL website.
