# Use the Interactive Installer (Recommended)

You can install Data Admin by using the interactive installer. This process creates all required directories, and sets up Data Admin to run as a service. During installation, you are prompted to specify the home directory and the paths for installation.

Use the following procedure to install Data Admin on Windows or Linux by using the interactive installer.

To install Data Admin

- Run the installer as an Administrator user, and then follow the instructions, supplying the correct information when prompted.

Data Admin is installed to the location that you specified.

NOTE: The installer requires administrative access to install Data Admin as a service, and to create the dedicated user that it uses to run Data Admin. On Microsoft Windows platforms, you must have administrative permissions. On Linux you must have root access (for example by sudo).

If you want to run Data Admin without administrative permissions, you can run the `dataadmin.jar` file directly from the terminal or command line.
