1. Download the [`opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-windows-x64.zip`](https://artifacts.opensearch.org/releases/bundle/opensearch-dashboards/{{site.opensearch_version}}/opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}-windows-x64.zip){:target='\_blank'} archive.
|
|
|
|
1. To extract the archive contents, right-click to select **Extract All**.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: Some versions of the Windows operating system limit the file path length. If you encounter a path-length-related error when unzipping the archive, perform the following steps to enable long path support:
|
|
|
|
1. Open Powershell by entering `powershell` in the search box next to **Start** on the taskbar.
|
|
1. Run the following command in Powershell:
|
|
```bat
|
|
Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem LongPathsEnabled -Type DWORD -Value 1 -Force
|
|
```
|
|
1. Restart your computer.
|
|
|
|
1. Run OpenSearch Dashboards.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways of running OpenSearch Dashboards:
|
|
|
|
1. Run the batch script using the Windows UI:
|
|
|
|
1. Navigate to the top directory of your OpenSearch Dashboards installation and open the `opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}` folder.
|
|
1. If desired, modify `opensearch_dashboards.yml` located in the `config` folder, to change the default OpenSearch Dashboards settings.
|
|
1. Open the `bin` folder and run the batch script by double-clicking the `opensearch-dashboards.bat` file. This opens a command prompt with an OpenSearch Dashboards instance running.
|
|
|
|
1. Run the batch script from Command Prompt or Powershell:
|

|
|
```bat

cd \path\to\opensearch-dashboards-{{site.opensearch_version}}
|
|
```
|
|
1. If desired, modify `config\opensearch_dashboards.yml`.
|
|
1. Run the batch script to start OpenSearch Dashboards.
|
|
```bat
|
