# Install an Ocient System

> Install an Ocient System with this end-to-end guide covering hardware setup, OS preparation, application installation, node bootstrapping, and validation.

export const Ocient = "Ocient®";

This section provides a quick tutorial for installing and configuring the {Ocient}  System using your data.

## Installation of the Ocient System

Before installing, check with your systems administrator to ensure that you meet the [Ocient System Requirements](/ocient-system-requirements) for the validated operating systems and hardware needed for optimized Ocient performance.

The installation and configuration of the Ocient System involves these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    [Ocient Application Installation](/ocient-application-installation)

    This step details how to download and install the Ocient System package.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    [Configure the Operating System](/configure-the-operating-system)

    This step applies the required kernel parameters, including the hugepages configuration, and reboots the system.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    [Ocient System Bootstrapping](/ocient-system-bootstrapping)

    This step describes the Ocient bootstrapping, which sets up the initial node configuration and connects the nodes together.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    [Ocient Application Configuration](/ocient-application-configuration)

    This step sets up your Ocient System with storage spaces, storage clusters, and node roles.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Verify the System Using the Management UI

    After installation and configuration, you can verify that your system is operational by accessing the [Ocient Management UI](/ocient-management-ui). Navigate to the SQL Node URL in a web browser to view system health, node status, and storage utilization, create data pipelines, and execute SQL queries. For connection and setup details, see [Ocient Management UI Configuration](/ocient-management-ui-configuration).
  </Step>
</Steps>
