# Download AM

The [Ping Identity Download Center](https://backstage.pingidentity.com/downloads) hosts downloads, including a `.zip` file with all of the AM components, the `.war` file, AM tools, the configurator, web and Java agents, PingGateway, and documentation. Review the Software License and Subscription Agreement presented before you download AM files.

For each release of AM, you can download the entire package as a `.zip` file, only the AM `.war` file, or only the administrative tools as a `.zip` archive. The Archives only have the AM source code used to build the release.

After you download the `.zip` file, create a new directory for AM, and unzip the `.zip` file to access the content.

```
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ mkdir openam && cd openam
$ unzip ~/Downloads/AM-7.5.2.zip
```

When you unzip the archive of the entire package, you get ldif, license, and legal directories in addition to the following files:
