If you encounter an error related to dependency resolution while installing Tableau Server on Linux, what should be your initial troubleshooting step?
A.
Temporarily disabling the firewall and antivirus software on the Linux server
B. Verifying that all required dependencies are installed and up-to-date on the Linux system
C. Configuring the network settings to allow unrestricted internet access to the Linux server
D. Changing the Linux server's hostname to ensure it's correctly recognized by Tableau Server
B. Verifying that all required dependencies are installed and up-to-date on the Linux system
Explanation:
Why B is Correct?
Dependency resolution errors occur when Tableau Server’s prerequisites (e.g., libraries like libssl, libpq) are missing or outdated.
The first step is to check Tableau’s Linux Installation Requirements and ensure all dependencies are met.
Commands like ldd (to check missing libraries) or apt/yum (to install packages) resolve most issues.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
A. Disabling firewall/antivirus: Rarely affects dependency installation—focus on package management first.
C. Unrestricted internet access: Only needed if dependencies are fetched from online repos (but check local packages first).
D. Changing hostname: Irrelevant to dependency errors (hostname matters for clustering, not installation).

Final Note:
Always start with B—dependency issues are common and fixable. Options A/C/D are tangential unless B fails.
