# Use the Executable .war File to Run Find

Use the following command to run Find:

`java -Didol.find.home=[home directory] -Dserver.port=[port] -jar find.war -uriEncoding utf-8`

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