New deployments should use the [Platform admin UI](../setup-guide/platform-admin-ui.html), which is the replacement for the legacy admin UI.Both UIs are available as separate downloads from the [Backstage download site](https://backstage.forgerock.com/downloads):- To install the Platform admin UI, follow the steps in [Install the Platform admin UI for standalone IDM](../setup-guide/platform-admin-ui.html).

- To continue using the legacy admin UI, follow the steps in [Install the legacy admin UI](../setup-guide/legacy-admin-ui.html). |
