# Install Find

Find is available as an interactive installer.

Alternatively, you can install Find as an IDOL component by running the IDOL Server installer. For more information, see the IDOL Server Getting Started Guide.

NOTE: To upgrade to Find 12.9 from an earlier version, you must delete your existing configuration file before you install the new version. Micro Focus also recommends that you back up your database for saved searches before you upgrade.

For more information, see Upgrade Find.
