# Available Formats

Find is available in two different formats:

- an interactive installer
- a zip package containing the components

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

## Interactive Installer

Micro Focus recommends that you install Find by using the interactive installer. This process creates all required directories, and sets up Find to run as a service. During installation, you specify the Find home directory and the paths for installation.

## Zip Package

The Find zip package contains an executable Java .`war` file. Unlike traditional Java web applications, Find does not require a stand-alone application server (for example, Tomcat), because one is embedded within the `.war` file.
