Please visit this page for Windows installation instructions.
If you are updating Provar Automation on Mac, please visit this page.
Prerequisites
- Compatible system requirements.
Verify your machine meets requirements here. - A Provar Automation license key.
If you do not have a Provar Automation license key, contact your designated Provar support rep or the support team at support@provartesting.com.
Download Provar Automation
Log into your Provar Success Portal. You can find the link on the far top right of the Provar.com homepage.
Find the newest Provar Releases under the Product menu.
This will take you to a table of releases currently available. You can change the List View to Current Stable Release or sort by Release Date to find the newest release with ease.
Clicking on the desired release will take you to a details page with various versions of the file available.
Make sure to select the correct version for your needs and operating system. If you don’t see it in the release download box, select “View All” to see the full available list.
Install Provar Automation
The downloaded file is a package file (.pkg). To start the installation wizard, run the file from its downloaded location.
Once the window pops up, click Continue to get started.
You must agree to the License Agreement to proceed to installation.
Select Continue to proceed.
You’ll have to agree to the terms before you can continue the installation process.
After accepting the license agreement, you will be prompted to install.
Click the Install button to start the process.
You may be prompted for your TouchID or password before continuing.
Installation may take a moment. Once complete, the summary screen will confirm it was successful. Click Close to exit the installation wizard.
Selecting a Workspace
Upon launching Provar Automation for the first time you’ll be prompted to select your preferred location and name for your Workspace.
NOTE:
The default location (C:Users<username>Provar) is where Provar stores your license and other information. This is not the same as the installation location.
Your workspace will be the home of your Test Project. It is not necessary to keep your workspace in this same location, but it is considered best practice to select a workspace location away from your chosen installation location.
Rename “Workspace1” as needed.
It is recommended to leave the checkbox “Use this as the default, and do not ask again” unticked. This will allow you to switch your workspace to have multiple Test Projects.
Click Launch once you have named your workspace and selected its location.
