| Verify installation requirements | The computer where you run [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Setup must meet minimum requirements for: [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Setup. The [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] web application and web services. The [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] database, if you host the database on the same computer as the web application. You can separate the web server computer and database server computer by running Setup on only the web server computer and creating the [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] database on a remote computer that runs a supported version and edition of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion]. |

| Run [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Setup | On the computer that will host the [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] web application and [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] web services, use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Setup or a command prompt to install [!INCLUDEssMDSshort]. When you use [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Setup, [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] is available on the Feature Selection page under Shared Features. When you use a command prompt, [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] is available as a feature parameter. Note that the command-line setup process installs [!INCLUDEssMDSshort], but does not configure it. You must configure it using the Master Data Services Configuration Manager. The installation process: Installs [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] folders and files at the location you specify for shared features, and assigns permissions to these objects. Registers [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). Installs [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr]. |

| Open [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr] to complete post-installation operations | After Setup completes, open [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr]. [!INCLUDEssMDScfgmgr] performs the following post-installation operations on the local computer: Creates a Windows group, MDS_ServiceAccounts, to contain [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] service accounts for application pools. Under the [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] installation path, creates the MDSTempDir folder and assigns permissions for MDS_ServiceAccounts. This folder is where temporary compilation files are compiled for the [!INCLUDEssMDSmdm] web application. In the [!INCLUDEssMDSshort] Web.config file, configures the tempDirectory attribute of the <compilation> element with the path to the MDSTempDir folder. |
