# Install a Connector

OpenText recommends that you install new connectors in Apache NiFi. For information about how to deploy connectors in NiFi, refer to the NiFi Ingest Help. If you prefer to deploy a connector as a standalone ACI server, use the following procedure.

TIP: To maximize performance, OpenText recommends that you install your Content component and your connectors on different machines.

To install a Knowledge Discovery ACI Connector

1. Ensure your system meets the requirements described in System Requirements, for example on Windows you might need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables.
2. Extract the contents of the connector zip package to your chosen installation directory.

3. Open the connector configuration file and make the following changes:

   1. In the `[License]` section, specify the host name and port of your License Server. For information about how to do this, see Configure the License Server Host and Port.

   2. In the `[Ingestion]` section, specify the host name and port of your Connector Framework Server, or configure the connector to send data to another system such as NiFi. For information about configuring ingestion, refer to the documentation for your connector.

   3. In the `[FetchTasks]` section, add a new fetch task so that the connector retrieves information from the repository. For information about configuring a fetch task, refer to the documentation for your connector.

4. (Optional) You can install the connector as a service. For information about how to do this, see Install a Component as a Service on Windows or Install a Component as a Service on Linux.

5. You can now start the connector.
