# Install IDOL Site Admin by Using the Interactive Installer

Use the following procedure to install IDOL Site Admin on Windows or Linux by using the interactive installer.

NOTE:

On Windows, the interactive installer requires .NET Framework 2.0.

To install IDOL Site Admin

1. Run the correct version of the installer for either Windows or Linux as an Administrator user.
2. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard, supplying the correct information when prompted.

IDOL Site Admin is installed at the location you specify. IDOL Site Admin is available on your machine as a service named `MicroFocus-SiteAdmin`, which you can start and stop from command line or the Windows services manager.

NOTE:

By default, the installer stores the IDOL Site Admin home directory in the `ProgramData` folder, which might be hidden by default in Windows.

When you start IDOL Site Admin, it automatically creates the required user roles in IDOL Community. A user must be a member of one of these roles to log into IDOL Site Admin. See User Roles for more information.

Start IDOL Site Admin and follow the steps in Configure IDOL Site Admin to complete the installation.
