# Use the Executable .jar File to Run IDOL Site Admin

Download and extract the files from the installer zip file. The zip file contains the `siteadmin.jar` executable `.jar` file, and an `install` directory.

Use the following command to run IDOL Site Admin:

`Java -Didol.idolsiteadmin.home=[home directory] –Dserver.port=[port] –jar siteadmin.jar –uriEncoding utf-8`

NOTE:

On Linux, Micro Focus recommends that you use `/opt/siteadmin` as the install directory, and `/opt/siteadmin/home` as the home directory. On Windows, the home directory might be `C:\ProgramData\SiteAdmin`. In either case, ensure that the user running IDOL Site Admin has read and write permissions for the home directory.

To continue the installation, follow the steps in Configure IDOL Site Admin.
