# Installing the SDK samples

Install rule and site authenticator SDK samples.

## Before you begin

Ensure you have the Java SDK and Apache Maven installed.

## About this task

Each sample type is installed separately:

* For the rules samples, go to `<PA_HOME>/sdk/samples/Rules`.

* For the site authenticators samples, go to `<PA_HOME>/sdk/samples/SiteAuthenticator`.

## Steps

* From the sample's directory, run the command `$ mvn install`.

  This builds the samples, runs their tests, and copies the resulting JAR file from the target directory to the `<PA_HOME>/lib` directory.

## Example

```
