+# User Guide
+
+The Exasol Tableau Connector is distributed together with Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server applications. We recommend using the latest available version of Tableau products to access the connector.
+If you want to use the currently developed version of connector, you can follow the guide below and install the connector disabling sign verification.
+
+## Testing In-Development Connector
+
+## With Tableau Desktop
+
+* Clone the Tableau-Connector repository. You can execute the following command from [Git Bash](https://gitforwindows.org/) terminal:
+
+    ```shell
+    git clone https://github.com/exasol/tableau-connector.git
+    ```
+
+* Open Windows cmd and start Tableau Desktop providing the path to the connector directory and also disabling the signature check.
+
+    ```shell
+    "<path to tableau.exe file>" -DConnectPluginsPath=<path to connector> -DDisableVerifyConnectorPluginSignature
+    ```
+
+    Example:
+
+    ```shell
+    "C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau <version>\bin\tableau.exe" -DConnectPluginsPath=C:\Users\user\git\tableau-connector\src -DDisableVerifyConnectorPluginSignature
+    ```
+
+## With Tableau Server
+
+* Clone the Tableau-Connector repository:
+
+    ```shell
+    git clone https://github.com/exasol/tableau-connector.git
+    ```
+
+* Package the connector with the script we provide (requires python installed):
+
+    ```shell
+    /bin/bash <path to connector directory>/tableau-connector/tableau-server-GUI-tests/set_up_scripts/package_connector.sh
+    ```
+
+    Note that we run the command above in the [Git Bash](https://gitforwindows.org/) terminal.
+
+* Copy the `exasol_odbc.taco` file to the following path inside Tableau Server:
+
+    ```shell
+    /var/opt/tableau/tableau_server/data/tabsvc/vizqlserver/Connectors/exasol_odbc.taco"
+    ```
+
+* Disable the sign verification on the Tableau Server and apply changes:
+
+    ```shell
+    tsm configuration set -k native_api.disable_verify_connector_plugin_signature -v true --force-keys
+    tsm pending-changes apply --ignore-prompt
+    ```
