Installing NiFi on Windows

You can install a single instance of NiFi or MiNiFi on a Windows machine. Running NIFI on Windows in a clustered mode is not supported.

Before you begin your NiFi installation, be sure you meet the following requirements:

Install JDK 8.0 64 bit.
Install Java to C:/java instead of C:/Program Files.
Recent Windows versions mark everything in C:\Program Files as read only.
Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable using the 8.3 style name conventions.

For example: C:\Program\jdk1.8.0.
Ensure JAVA_HOME is pointing to a 64-bit JRE/JDK.
Ensure your system meets the minimum memory requirement for Windows which is 4GB.

Extract the NiFi files in the repo location at http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDF/windows/3.x/updates/3.1.0.0/nifi-3.1.0.0-564.msi to the location from which you want to run the application.
Install NiFi to C:/nifi or some root folder.
