Prerequisites

Ed-Fi Dashboard technology leverages an extensive framework. Many components of Ed-Fi technology are platform-independent, including the Ed-Fi Data Standard and the Ed-Fi API. However, the concrete implementation of the Ed-Fi Dashboards is built upon a Microsoft technology stack. While this documentation attempts to provide detail sufficient for a wide variety of experience levels, familiarity with and access to the following technologies is necessary for installing and configuring the Ed-Fi Dashboard software components:

  • Microsoft Windows configuration activities
  • Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5
  • Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 or 2012
  • SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
  • SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
  • Visual Studio 2010 (Professional Edition or better)
  • ASP.NET MVC 3 / C#
  • NuGet (Package Manager)
  • Windows Identity Foundation (WIF)
