# Downloading the deployment package

The automated deployment installs different PingIntelligence components from this management machine.

## Before you begin

PingIntelligence automated deployment requires a RHEL 7.9 management host machine to start the deployment.

## About this task

To set up the management machine:

## Steps

1. Sign on to the management machine as a root user.

2. [Download](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads/pingintelligence/pingintelligence-software.html) the Ansible deployment package and save it to the `/opt` directory.

3. Untar the downloaded file:

   ```
   #tar -xf /opt/pi-api-deployment-<version>.tar.gz
   ```

   ### Result:

   Untarring the file creates the following subdirectories in the `pi-api-deployment` directory.
