Requirements for Advanced Analytics (Causal Network Analysis and BioProfiler):
We recommend that you install the IPA client using the installer located here: https://analysis.ingenuity.com/pa/installer/select
With the installer, you no longer need to install Java separately or login to IPA with a web browser. There is no offline mode for IPA, you need an internet connection to use it.
* Note: Due to Microsoft discontinuing support for the Windows XP operating system in April of 2014, the Ingenuity Apps Team at QIAGEN transitioned to legacy support for Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) on XP starting with the Spring release in March 2014. IPA will continue to function on the XP operating system and we anticipate no issues. However, we recommend that you upgrade to a newer operating system as soon as possible. With this reduced support for XP the IPA team will continue to investigate any reported defects and attempt to offer work-arounds for any identified issues if they arise due to XP.
**JRE is the acronym for the Java Runtime Environment and is the program required to run Java applications and applets on your computer. Java is not needed if using the installed version of the IPA client.
*** Lightweight usage of IPA includes search, build/overlay operations and small dataset upload and analysis creation. For larger analyses and comparison analyses, IPA requires more memory (RAM).
