If your Linux system uses a proxy server for external traffic and no proxy for local traffic, you must complete the
following system configuration and Sisense configuration steps before initializing Sisense on your system.

**Note:**

Features that use Sisense Cloud-based services will not work behind a proxy server. See [Sisense Cloud-Based Services](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/sisense-cloud-based-services.md).

- For a single-node system: Configure the node where you plan to deploy Sisense.
- For a multi-node system: Configure all of the nodes where you plan to deploy Sisense.

**To configure the proxy settings:**

1. Log in to the Linux server and enter the following commands to add proxy environment variables to
   /etc/environment.

   ```
      
                         sudo bash -c 'printf -v no_proxy '%s,' {0..255} && echo  
                         no_proxy="localhost,svc,node1,$no_proxy" >> /etc/environment'  
                         sudo bash -c 'echo https_proxy="http://example.proxy.tld:port" >> /etc/environment'  
                         sudo bash -c 'echo http_proxy="http://example.proxy.tld:port" >> /etc/environment'  
                     
   ```
2. Enter the following commands to export the proxy environment variables.

   ```
       
                         printf -v no_proxy '%s,' {0..255} && export  
                         no_proxy="localhost,svc,node1,$no_proxy"  
                         export http_proxy="http://example.proxy.tld:port"  
                         export https_proxy="http://example.proxy.tld:port"  
                     
   ```
3. Now, you must navigate to the directory where you extracted the Sisense tar.gz file.

   ```
       
                         cd sisense-[sisense-version]  
                     
   ```
4. Edit the configuration YAML file by entering the following command.

   ```
           
                         vim {installation-folder)/config.yaml  
                     
   ```
5. Go to the PROXY SETTINGS group, remove the comment (#) tag from the parameters, and configure them. For
   example:

   ```
           
                         http_proxy:"http://example.proxy.tld:port"  
                         https_proxy:"http://example.proxy.tld:port"  
                         no_proxy:"localhost,svc,node1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,160,161,162,163,164,165,166,167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178,179,180,181,182,183,184,185,186,187,188,189,190,191,192,193,194,195,196,197,198,199,200,201,202,203,204,205,206,207,208,209,210,211,212,213,214,215,216,217,218,219,220,221,222,223,224,225,226,227,228,229,230,231,232,233,234,235,236,237,238,239,240,241,242,243,244,245,246,247,248,249,250,251,252,253,254,255,"  
                     
   ```
6. Save these changes to the configuration YAML file and return to the instructions in [Installing Sisense on Linux](https://docs.sisense.com/main/SisenseLinux/installing-sisense-on-linux.md).
