## Manual installation

Download the LeanFT installation file and install LeanFT on your machine:

1. Make sure your machine meets the installation Prerequisites before you start, otherwise the installation will fail.

   1. Log into Micro Focus SaaS. If you do not have an account, create one.

   2. Go to the LeanFT download page and download the installation file for Linux.

   3. In Terminal, extract the installation file: tar xvfz LeanFTSetup_Linux.tar.gz

3. Launch the installation:

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

4. Follow the on-screen instructions.

   On the Installation Options page, select an installation mode:

   Mode | For computers where you plan to...
   --- | ---
   LeanFT runtime engine only | Run existing LeanFT tests without modifying them.
   Full installation | Develop and run LeanFT tests. Select the IDEs on which to install the LeanFT plugin and enter the relevant path to the IDE. Note: The LeanFT installation can install the LeanFT 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 LeanFT menu is added to the IDEs you selected, and LeanFT project templates are available in the IDE. Note: If you run the Full installation but do not select any IDEs for the LeanFT plugin, the LeanFT SDKs are still installed in /opt/leanft/sdk

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

## Default LeanFT installation location on Linux

LeanFT is installed by default in /opt/leanft.

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.
