Installation PowerBI

Hello, Any recommendations to install PowerBI? Could it be on the Reporting Service Server? Or any other role server in our environment? - Primary Server - SQL Server - Management Point Server ...

    Most of the time you do NOT install Power BI.  It is a service provided by Microsoft.  The exceptions are Power BI Report Server (which is the on-premise equivalent for companies that cannot put their data into the Azure cloud) and Power BI Gateways which act as connection broker between on-premise data sources and the Azure cloud.

     

    If you plan to install Power BI Report Server do not use a shared machine.  You will get best results from a dedicated, very powerful machine. Try to place that machine as close to your data sources as possible.
