# Installation

{% hint style="info" %}
This version of the connector is currently compatible with Elimity Insights server versions matching `>3.32.0`.
{% endhint %}

As a first step, we recommend carefully reading [the official Microsoft documentation about PowerBI custom connectors](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-connector-extensibility#custom-connectors) if you don't have experience with installing them. Follow these instructions to install and configure the Elimity Insights Power Query connector in your environment:

1. Ensure PowerBI Desktop can load non-certified custom connectors
   1. Go to 'File' > 'Options and settings' > 'Options' > 'Security'
   2. Ensure the 'Data Extensions' setting is set to 'Allow any extension to load...'
   3. Restart PowerBI Desktop if prompted
2. Install the Elimity Insights Power Query connector
   1. Download the latest version by opening the following link and logging in with your customers.elimity.com account: <https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/elimity-downloads/power-query-connector>
   2. Place the downloaded `ElimityInsights.mez` file in your local `[Documents]\Microsoft Power BI Desktop\Custom Connectors` folder; create the folder if it does not exist
3. Generate an Elimity Insights API token
   1. Navigate to the 'API tokens' menu in Elimity Insights and click the 'CREATE API TOKEN' button
   2. Enter a name and description for the new API token
   3. Note down the resulting identifier and secret
4. Add an Elimity Insights data source in PowerBI
   1. In PowerBI, click 'Get data' and search for `Elimity Insights`
   2. Provide the URL of your Elimity Insights server (e.g. `https://example.elimity.com`)
   3. Enter the API token identifier and secret you noted down in step 3.3
   4. Click the 'Connect' button and choose which tables you want to load

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.elimity.com/other-components-power-query-connector/installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
