# Installing ASE

ASE supports RHEL 7.9 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. The provisioned infrastructure can be an EC2 instance, bare metal x86 server, and VMware ESXi.

## About this task

Complete the following steps to install ASE. You can install ASE as a root user or as a non-root user. The example installation path assumes that you are root user. The installation works in a similar way for a non-root user.

## Steps

1. Go to the [Ping Identity Product Downloads site](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads.html)

2. Under PingIntelligence for APIs, click on **View Now**.

3. Choose the installation type and click **Download**.

4. After downloading the file, copy the ASE file to the `/opt` directory or any other directory where you want to install ASE.

5. Change the working directory.

   ### Choose from:

   * If you are installing as a root user, change the working directory to `/opt`

   * If you are installing as a non-root user, choose any other location.

6. At the command prompt, enter the following command to untar the ASE file:

   ```
   tar –zxvf  <filename>
   ```

   ### Example:

   ```
   tar –zxvf pi-api-ase-rhel-4.4.tar.gz
   ```

7. To verify that ASE successfully installed, enter the `ls` command at the command prompt. This should list the `pingidentity` directory and the build `.tar` file.

   ### Example:

   ```
   /opt/pingidentity/ase/bin/$ ls
   pingidentity pi-api-ase-rhel-4.4.tar.gz
   ```
