Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a basic Qtap instance in a cloud-connected environment, starting from account creation to installation.

For more detailed installation and configuration information, see the full Qtap Documentation.

Create an Account

To get started, point your browser at https://app.qpoint.io/sign-up and create an account.

Create an Organization

You'll be prompted to create an organization in your account. Each account may have multiple organizations associated with it. To get started, we recommend creating an example organization as a sandbox or test environment.

Don't worry: you can create or manage different organizations easily after the setup process is completed.

Navigate to the Installation Wizard

Once your organization is created, you'll be taken to the main dashboard. Look for the "Go" button at the top of the interface and click it to start the installation wizard.

Choose Your Installation Option

In the installation wizard, you'll see options for different installation methods:

• Docker

• Kubernetes

• Linux Binary

Select the option that best fits your environment and infrastructure needs.

Follow the Installation Wizard

After selecting your preferred installation method, the wizard will guide you through the specific steps for that option. It will provide you with the necessary commands, configuration details, or files needed to complete the installation.

Follow the on-screen instructions carefully. The wizard is designed to make the process as smooth as possible, regardless of which installation method you've chosen.
