Deploying Your Instance‌

1. Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace and search "Tigergraph Enterprise Edition". Choosing the latest edition (3.0.6) is recommended.

2. Click on "Launch"​‌.

3. The default setting should work for you, but feel free to modify them. When complete, click on "Deploy".

Notes: The instance type needs to have at least 4 CPU and 16GB RAM for TigerGraph to work properly.

The "Allow TCP port 14240 traffic from the Internet" checkbox must be checked if you want to access GraphStudio (TigerGraph's visualization platform). For more about GraphStudio, see the GraphStudio UI Guide.

For information on how to set up authentication please see User access management.

The "Allow TCP port 9000 traffic from the Internet" checkbox must be checked if you want to send RESTful requests to TigerGraph from outside the instance (this includes configuring the GSQL client on a remote machine). For more about the REST API, see the TigerGraph RESTful API User Guide.‌

For more about the TigerGraph Platform, see the TigerGraph Platform Overview.​‌
