# Installation overview

1. Select your installation option. You have the following to choose from:
   * ["All-in-One" Installation](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/installation-overview/all-in-one-installation.md)
   * [Installation directly](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/installation-overview/direct-installation.md) from Storware Backup and Recovery WebUI
   * [Installation with RPMs](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/installation-overview/installation-with-rpms.md)
2. If you have chosen the **Installation with RPMs** option you have to configure and connect an external IBM Spectrum Protect server (see [IBM Spectrum Protect server configuration](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/installation-overview/ibm-spectrum-protect-server-configuration.md) section). If you'd like to install the IBM Spectrum Protect server on the machine, ask the [Storware support team](mailto:ps@storware.eu) for assistance if needed),
3. Once you've finished the configuration process, you can perform the [Initial configuration](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/initial-configuration.md).
4. In the next step, perform [Client deployment](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/client-deployment.md) on selected endpoints in your organization.
5. Test basic operations to verify that deployment is completed (go to the [Backup and recovery tests](/70/deployment/endpoints-how-to-install/backup-and-recovery-tests.md) section)
