## Manual installation

After downloading the installation file, perform the installation:

1. Launch the installation:

   Mode | To run the installation
   --- | ---
   GUI | In Terminal: Change to the folder containing the setup file you extracted. Run ./UFTDeveloperSetup Note: The GUI installer is not supported when using ssh or telnet. In this case, the installer automatically opens in console mode.
   Terminal | Change to the folder containing the setup file you extracted. Run ./UFTDeveloperSetup -i console

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

   On the Installation Options page, select an installation mode:

   Mode | For computers on which you plan to...
   --- | ---
   Runtime Engine only | Run existing tests without modifying them.
   Full installation | Develop and run tests. Select the IDEs on which to install the IDE plugin and enter the relevant path to the IDE. Note: The installation can install the IDE plugin only on one of the Eclipse/Spring Tool Suite/JBoss Developer Studio IDEs. Accordingly, you can enter only one IDE path for this option. When the full installation is complete, a Functional Testing for Developers menu is added to the IDEs you selected, and FTD project templates are available in the IDE. Note: If you run the Full installation but do not select any IDEs for the IDE plugin, the SDKs are still installed in /opt/OpenTextFunctionalTestingForDevelopers/sdk.

3. When the installation is complete, continue with Post installation.

## Default installation location on Linux

By default, the installation location is /opt/OpenTextFunctionalTestingForDevelopers.

After installation, you can move the installation folder to another location if you need to. However, if you do this, you must define a system variable called LEANFT_HOME that points to the new location.
