# Install PPM with special command

You can use the `install_auto.sh` command to install PPM.

How to install PPM with `install_auto.sh`:

1. Extract the `ppm-1000-install.zip` package.

   The extraction creates the `ppm1000` directory, which includes the `install_auto.sh` and `template_installation_file.properties` file.

2. In the `ppm1000` directory, run the `install_auto.sh` command. You can run this command either in interactive mode or from file.

   Run install_auto.sh in interactive mode

   Run `install_auto.sh` without any parameter attached. And follow the on-screen instructions to provide required information to complete the installation.

   For example, you will be asked to provide the system username and password, and to select the currency and region.

   Run install_auto.sh from file

   To run `install_auto.sh` from file, you should first set the properties in the `template_installation_file.properties` file:

   1. Open the `template_installation_file.properties` file from the `ppm1000` directory. Or, you can copy the file and save it somewhere else.

   2. In the `template_installation_file.properties` file, follow the instructions in the file to set the properties.

      You can set the `sysPassword`, `DB_PASSWORD`, and `RML_PASSWORD` in the environment variable `DB_PASSWORD` to avoid security problems.

   Run `install_auto.sh` with specific parameters attached.
