Since we now have an idea what SAP Lumira is and how it can help us with data discovery or big data analytics, lets download and install SAP Lumira. In addition, we will also learn a bit about Lumira's nice, friendly interface. In this book, we will use the SAP Lumira Standard edition; you can download it with a trial key for a 60 days trial.
There are three methods for getting SAP Lumira:
Download it from http://www.saplumira.com
Download it from http://support.sap.com/swdc
Download from https://www.packtpub.com/support
This is the best choice because most of the books were written based on SAP Lumira Desktop version 1.21. It is possible to use the last version of SAP Lumira, which is very similar to its previous versions, but it can have some changes in design.
