# Installing PingIntelligence for APIs software

The automated deployment framework creates the updated package for each PingIntelligence component and stores them in the `/opt/pingidentity/pi-api-deployment/software/updated_packages` directory.

## About this task

The keys, passwords, and port number in these packages are the ones that you configured using the `.yml` files in the `/opt/pingidentity/pi-api-deployment/config` directory. You can use these packages to install PingIntelligence components on other instances.

|   | The command-line interface (CLI) admin password in ASE and ABS is saved in the updated packages. If you want to change the CLI admin password, use the `update_password` command in ASE and ABS to manually update the password. |

To set up the deployment:

## Steps

1. Run the following command:

   ```
   [pi-api-deployment]# ./bin/start.sh install
   Please see /opt/pingidentity/pi-api-deployment/logs/ansible.log for more details.
   ```

2. Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) displayed for ABS for installation to start.

3. To verify a successful setup, view the `ansible.log` file.

   ### Result:

   Below is a log file snippet for a successful setup:

   ```
   [pi-api-deployment]# tail -f logs/ansible.log
