I'm running a dev instance of servicenow through the Developer Site. I need to run Discovery; the instance does not appear to have a Mid installed. How do I install one?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for the helpful responses.
Discovery does require an installed and running MID server, running either Linux or Windows Server 2012 or later. It cannot be installed on a laptop running a standard OS.
My solution was to create a free Linux Instance within the AWS Cloud and use that to install the MID server. The Amazon version of Linux was sufficient for the package to open and install.
The Linux installation instructions linked in this thread were sufficient, but read them through entirely before beginning. There was one step missing from those instructions: right at the very beginning, run "sudo su" to reach root. If you're familiar with Linux, this will seem obvious. If you're not familiar with Linux, this missing command will be a show-stopper.
The Windows installation instructions included a step that involved clicking "installer.bat". This file is missing from the current downloadable .zip package, replaced with "installer.sh".
The step-by-step video linked in this thread was very helpful.
Thank you again.

Gregory,
To answer the question on whether it's necessary to install a MID server, it's yes. There's a need to installed it on user's computer.
Requirements of a computer to install MID server is in the following page.
Beside Windows and Linux, there is also a containerized MID Server using docker.
After installing a MID server on a computer, that is a need to setup ServiceNow to connect to the MID server.
