# Deploying the integration files

To get started with the integration, deploy the One-Time Passcode Integration Kit files to your PingFederate directory.

## Before you begin

Download the integration kit `.zip` archive from the [**Add-ons** tab on the PingFederate downloads page](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads/pingfederate.html) or the [Ping Identity Marketplace](https://marketplace.pingone.com/item/onetime-passcode-integration-kit).

## Steps

1. Stop PingFederate, if it's running.

2. If you're upgrading from a previous deployment, do the following:

   1. Back up any One-Time Passcode Integration Kit files you customized in `<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/`.

   2. Delete `pf-one-time-passcode-adapter-<version>.jar` from `<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/deploy`.

   3. Delete `pf-authn-api-sdk-<version>.jar` from `<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/lib` if it's older than the version in the integration files.

3. Extract the `.zip` archive and copy the contents of the `dist` directory to `<pf_install>`.

4. If you want to use the SMTP Notification Publisher, merge the contents of the `pingfederate-smtp-otp-messages.properties` file into the `<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/language-packs/pingfederate-email-messages.properties` file.

5. If you backed up templates or messages from a previous deployment, modify the new files with your customizations.

6. Start PingFederate.

7. If you operate PingFederate in a cluster, repeat steps 1 - 6 for each instance of PingFederate.
