# Downloading the Installation Packages for an Azure Deployment

Download the installation packages for the OMT Installer and the product of your choice from the Micro Focus Entitlement Portal to a secure network location. After download, validate the digital signature of each file. You can store all the packages on you local computer, as most of the tasks could be performed on it. To identify the files to download to your secure network location, see "Downloading and Installing the ArcSight Platform Installation Files" in the Release Notes for ArcSight Platform 23.3.

For installation, you must have the following files (each package requires its corresponding `md5` file for authentication):

    arcsight-platform-cloud-installer-XX.X.X.XXX.zip/.md5

    arcsight-suite-metadata-<version>.tar/.md5

    <product package file>.tar/md5 [1 set for each product package you intend to install]

## Installation tools

The `arcsight-platform-cloud-installer-XX.X.X.XXX.zip` archive contains utility scripts and some templates used during the deployment process. The `arcsight-platform-cloud-installer-XX.X.X.XXX/cdf-deployer/scripts` directory includes these scripts:

- `uploadimages.sh`: Used for uploading the OMT and product images to the ACR to make them accessible to K8s. The script performs tasks in the background required specifically by the Azure ACR. Execute this script without parameters to display the help.

- `workernodes-userdata`: Used indirectly for enabling worker nodes to join the Kubernetes cluster.

This secure network location must be able to access Azure through the Azure Portal or the Azure Cloud Shell.
Before proceeding with the next step, verify the GPG digital signatures of the downloaded files as the per this knowledge base article.
