# Install Query Manipulation Server

There are several ways to install QMS.

- The QMS ZIP package is a zip file that contains the QMS and its required support files. Using this package is the easiest way to install QMS. See Install QMS from the ZIP Package.

- Containers are available for most Knowledge Discovery components, including QMS. For more information about deploying Knowledge Discovery using containers, refer to the Knowledge Discovery Getting Started Guide.

## Install QMS from the ZIP Package

The following procedure describes how to install QMS from the ZIP package. You can also install required components in a similar way from the appropriate ZIP packages (see Query Manipulation Server Components).

To install QMS from the ZIP package

1. Extract the contents of the ZIP package to your chosen installation directory.

2. (Windows only) Install all of the redistributables located in the runtime folder. These install prerequisites that are necessary to run QMS.

3. Modify the parameters in the `[License]` section of the QMS configuration file so that QMS can query your License Server. For information about how to do this, see Configure the License Server Host and Port.

4. (Optional) To run QMS as a service, follow the instructions in one of the following topics:

   - Install a Component as a Service on Windows.

   - Install a Component as a Service on Linux.

5. Start QMS by following the instructions in Start Query Manipulation Server.
