Before using Confluence Data Source, install SearchBlox successfully and create a **Custom Collection**.

## **Prerequisites**
**For Windows:**
Download zoneinfo.zip into any directory (preferably C drive). [https://sbgoclient.s3.amazonaws.com/confluence/confluence_refresh/zoneinfo.zip](🔗)
Add a system variable named ZONEINFO, and the value should be the path of zone info zip. For example, System variable name ZONEINFO and value= C:\zoneinfo.zip
Save the Environment variable.

Go to bash_profile file using the following command: vi ~/.bash_profile
