# Install HPE Media Server from the ZIP Package

HPE recommends that you install HPE Media Server using the IDOL Server installer (see Install HPE Media Server on Windows or Install HPE Media Server on UNIX). However, if necessary, you can install HPE Media Server from the ZIP package.

To install HPE Media Server from the ZIP package (on Windows)

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

2. Install all of the redistributables located in the `runtime` folder. These install prerequisites that are necessary to run HPE Media Server.

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

4. You can now start HPE Media Server. You can install HPE Media Server as a Windows service and then start and stop the service. For information about how to do this, see Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Windows.

To install HPE Media Server from the ZIP package (on Linux)

1. Extract the contents of the ZIP package to your chosen installation directory.
2. Modify the parameters in the `[License]` section of the HPE Media Server configuration file so that HPE Media Server can query your License Server. For information about how to do this, see Configure the License Server Host and Port.

3. You can now start HPE Media Server. To start HPE Media Server, run the start script `start.sh`, and to stop HPE Media Server run the stop script, `stop.sh`. These scripts are included in the HPE Media Server installation directory.
