# Installation requirements

Review the following software, documentation, and server requirements.

## Docker images

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | The setup requires the Community Version (CE) of Docker 18.09 or later. Make sure that the Docker infrastructure is set up before proceeding with installation and setup of the PingIntelligence for APIs software. |

Download the Docker evaluation package. The Docker package creates the following five containers on the host machine:

1. API Security Enforcer (ASE)

2. API Behavioral Security Engine (ABS)

3. PingIntelligence for APIs Dashboard

4. Client that sends the traffic

5. Google Go App server

## PingIntelligence license

You must have a PingIntelligence for APIs license to start ASE and ABS. Contact the Ping Identity sales team to access the trial license.

## Postman reporting

ABS generates various REST application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>
\</div>)* reports. You can view these reports using the Postman client or any other REST API client. PingIntelligence provides a Postman collection to view the various ABS reports.

Download the Postman client from the [Postman site](https://www.getpostman.com/).

## Documentation

* For information about administering ASE, inline ASE, real-time cybersecurity, and so on, see the [ASE Admin Guide](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_ase.html).

* For more information about administering ABS, artificial intelligence (AI) engine training, various REST API reports, and so on, see the [ABS Admin Guide](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_abs_ai_engine.html).

* For information about how to access and use the Dashboard, see [PingIntelligence Dashboard](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_dashboard.html).

## Server requirements

The setup requires one machine that hosts the six Docker images. The server requirements for the machine are specified in the following table.

|          |                                   |
| -------- | --------------------------------- |
| OS       | Ubuntu 18.04 LTS                  |
| Hardware | 8 CPUs, 32 GB RAM, 500 GB Storage |

|   |                                                                             |
| - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
