# Install IDOL Site Admin as a Service on Linux

Use the following procedure to install IDOL Site Admin as a service on Linux.

1. Create a user and group to run IDOL Site Admin. Micro Focus recommends that you use `siteadmin` as both the user name and the group name:

       $ useradd siteadmin

2. Create a directory in which to install IDOL Site Admin. Micro Focus recommends that you use `/opt/siteadmin` as the installation directory:

       $ mkdir /opt/siteadmin

3. Create a directory to serve as the home directory for IDOL Site Admin. Micro Focus recommends that you use `/opt/siteadmin/home` as the home directory:

       $ mkdir /opt/siteadmin/home

4. Copy `siteadmin.jar` to the installation directory:

       $ cp siteadmin.jar /opt/siteadmin/

5. Recursively change the ownership of the installation directory:

       $ chown –R siteadmin:siteadmin /opt/siteadmin

6. Deploy the startup script.

   System V

       $ cp install/linux/sysv/siteadmin.sh /etc/init.d/siteadmin
       $ chmod +x /etc/init.d/siteadmin
       $ update-rc.d siteadmin defaults 99

   Upstart

       $ cp install/linux/upstart/siteadmin.conf /etc/init/
       $ chmod +x /etc/init/siteadmin.conf

7. If you have used any non-default paths or settings during installation, edit the startup script to contain the corresponding values.

8. Start the application.

   System V

       $ sudo /etc/init.d/siteadmin start

   Upstart

       $ sudo service siteadmin start

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