Configuration Overview

You can configure your Hyperscience instance to meet the infrastructure and business needs of your organization.

The options available to you depend on whether you have an on-premise / private cloud instance or a SaaS instance of Hyperscience.

On premise / private cloud instances

Hyperscience allows you to customize many aspects of your on-premise / private cloud implementation to meet the needs of your organization. 

The table below lists the various ways in which you can tailor your configuration, along with links to articles with more information.

Making changes to the “.env” file

Configuration of on-premise / private cloud instances is managed through the “.env” file in the supplied bundle. The bundle contains an example “.env” file that needs to be filled in. You should delete any sections that you are not using. You may also need to add entries for some of the optional features if enabled. To learn more, see Editing the “.env” file and running the application.
