You can install the Ocient® software application by installing a single RPM or Debian® package.

Before installation, review your hardware sizing and ensure that it meets your needs. For details, see [Ocient System Hardware Specifications](<./Installation Reference/Ocient System Hardware Specifications.md>). For a list of prerequisites needed for Ocient installation, see the [Ocient System Requirements](<./Installation Reference/Ocient System Requirements.md>).&#x20;

## Application Installation

### Commands

:::hint{type="warning"}
Consult the documentation for the package manager of your operating system for specific options and command-line syntax.
:::

## RPM Installation

Use this command to install the Ocient RPM package from the local filesystem. Include `./` or specify the full path to the RPM file; otherwise, the `dnf` command attempts to search the configured repositories instead of installing the local RPM file.  In the following command example, replace `XX` with the Ocient package version of the provided file.

```shell
sudo dnf install ./ocient-XX-x86_64.rpm
```

## DEB Installation

Use this command to install the Ocient DEB package from the local filesystem.  Include `./` or specify the full path to the DEB file, otherwise the `apt` command attempts to search the configured repositories instead of installing the local DEB file.  In the following command example, replace `XX` with the Ocient package version of the provided file.

```shell
sudo apt install ./ocient-XX-amd64.deb
```

## Next Step

When your system install completes, proceed to [Ocient System Bootstrapping](<./Ocient System Bootstrapping.md>).&#x20;
