In this release, support for OLAP databases and data mining models is available when you install [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] in *Multidimensional mode*. Multidimensional mode is one of three server modes that [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] runs in. It is the default mode. If you install [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] using default values, you will get an instance that runs multidimensional databases and data mining models. [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] is a multi-instance feature, which means that you can install more than one instance [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] on a single computer, or run a new instance of [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] side-by-side an earlier version. Server mode is specific to an instance. Using other modes requires that you install additional instances of the server. You can install [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] by itself or with other components. If you install just [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)], the following features are installed when you select **Analysis Services** on the Feature Selection page of the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Installation Wizard: - [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] server for running [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] databases and data mining models - Data providers used for [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] data access to source databases - SQL Server Configuration Manager ## Choosing additional features Analysis Services OLAP and data warehouse solutions will require the installation of additional [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] components to enable the development, deployment, and administration of [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] databases. The following additional features are options for many typical user scenarios: - [!INCLUDE[ssBIDevStudioFull](../../includes/ssbidevstudiofull-md.md)], used to create and view Analysis Services data structures and data mining models. - Client tools connectivity components, used for communication between clients and servers, including network libraries for DB-Library, ODBC, and OLE DB. - [!INCLUDE[ssISnoversion](../../includes/ssisnoversion-md.md)], a set of graphical and programmable objects for moving, copying, and transforming data. - Management tools, including [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Configuration Manager, [!INCLUDE[ssManStudioFull](../../includes/ssmanstudiofull-md.md)], [!INCLUDE[ssSqlProfiler](../../includes/sssqlprofiler-md.md)], and Replication Monitor. ## Installation Tasks Installation tasks include the following: |Links|Tasks| |-----------|-----------| |[Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2014](hardware-and-software-requirements-for-installing-sql-server.md) and [Configure Windows Service Accounts and Permissions](../../database-engine/configure-windows/configure-windows-service-accounts-and-permissions.md).|Before you run Setup, check prerequisites for installing [!INCLUDE[ssASnoversion](../../includes/ssasnoversion-md.md)] and determine which account you will use to provision the server.| |[Install SQL Server 2014 from the Installation Wizard (Setup)](../../database-engine/install-windows/install-sql-server-from-the-installation-wizard-setup.md).|Run SQL Server Setup to install the software.| |[Configure the Windows Firewall to Allow Analysis Services Access](https://docs.microsoft.com/analysis-services/instances/configure-the-windows-firewall-to-allow-analysis-services-access)|After Setup is finished, you must configure firewall settings to allow remote connections to the server.| |[Authorizing access to objects and operations (Analysis Services)](https://docs.microsoft.com/analysis-services/multidimensional-models/authorizing-access-to-objects-and-operations-analysis-services)|Users who access Analysis Services databases must have Read permission on at least one database on the server.| ## Related Content Additional setup content can be found in the following topics: [Install Analysis Services in Tabular Mode](https://docs.microsoft.com/analysis-services/instances/install-windows/install-analysis-services) [PowerPivot for SharePoint 2010 Installation](../../../2014/sql-server/install/powerpivot-for-sharepoint-2010-installation.md) [Determine the Server Mode of an Analysis Services Instance](https://docs.microsoft.com/analysis-services/instances/determine-the-server-mode-of-an-analysis-services-instance) [SQL Server Data Mining Add-ins](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=35578) By default, sample databases, sample code, and client application add-ins are not installed as part of [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Setup.
