# Downloading and installing ASE software

## About this task

ASE supports RHEL 7.9 or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The provisioned infrastructure can be an EC2 instance, bare metal x86 server, or VMware ESXi. You can install ASE as a root or a non-root user. You can install ASE either by downloading the ASE software from the download site or by using the ASE Docker image provided to you.

**Install ASE by downloading the ASE software**

Complete the following steps to install ASE:

## Steps

1. Go the [download site](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads.html)

2. Under PingIntelligence, click on **Select** and navigate to the ASE section to download the ASE binary. Make sure you choose the correct platform binary.

3. After downloading the file, copy the ASE file to the `/opt` directory if you are installing as a root user. You can choose any other location if you want to install ASE as a non-root user.

4. Change the working directory to `/opt`

5. At the command prompt, type the following command to untar the ASE file:

   ```
   tar -zxvf <filename>
   ```

   **For example:**

   ```
   tar -zxvf ase-rhel-4.0.4.tar.gz
   ```

6. To verify that ASE successfully installed, the `ls` command at the command prompt. This will list the pingidentity directory and the build's tar file. For example:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/$ ls
   pingidentity ase-rhel-4.0.4.tar.gz
   ```
