Prerequisites: Ensure the [MID Server system requirements](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/cz~U8SBK9UwjNYMyKIBxOA "Use these minimum system requirements to allocate resources for computers hosting MID Servers.") and
[MID Server connection
prerequisites](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/NOcDIv0Mm~m9nzmyxCahmg#c_MIDServerConnectionPrerequisites "Before you install the MID Server, perform the necessary prerequisites that it needs to connect to elements inside and outside your network. This includes network privileges and security considerations.") are met before you install the MID Server manually or use the
guided setup utility.

## MID Server manual installation {#mid-server-installation__section_y3j_jtk_chb}

The manual process requires these setup tasks, performed in the order shown here:

1. [Create
   the MID Server user account](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/GQh5GGVROxXcofmzvAwS~w#t_SetupMIDServerRole "To communicate with the instance, MID Servers need a user ID and the appropriate role. Create the user ID for a MID Server and grant the ID the mid_server role. To prevent MID Server validation failure, the system runs business rules to monitor the settings selected for MID Server users.") and grant the appropriate role to this user.
2. [Download the installer file](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/uIuMkEQFvNdRDGqP3oI_Sg "Download the MID Server installer package through the instance and make it available for installation on the host. Allow the local network to access the authorized IP addresses to ensure that you can download the installation package and receive automatic upgrades.") for the host machine.
3. Install the MID Server on a [Linux](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Kov3JIC3GQu3Crrk3BnUNg#t_InstallAMIDServerOnLinux "Install MID Servers with the MID Server installer and verify it is active. The package includes an installer that automatically configures JRE to run in the environment. The MID Server can use an existing JRE rather than the provided JRE. Uninstall the MID Server to redeploy it.") or [Windows](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/1n4BMA3dcXnEVbu~5ko~HA#t_InstallAMIDServerOnWindows "Install MID Servers with the MID Server guided Windows installation package. The package includes an installer that automatically configures OpenJDK to run in the environment.") host.
4. [Validate
   the MID Server](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/yLvY6gGS4eQjC8vK9CY2ww "You must manually validate the MID Server after it is installed to enable it to execute automation tasks. You can invalidate a MID Server you suspect has been compromised to prevent it from accessing automation credentials in the instance or executing outbound ECC probes.") to ensure that it is trusted to access credentials used by the instance for automations.
5. [Test connectivity](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/p3M_8Z__2OtghiL5qiflyw "Confirm that the MID Server host is able to communicate with the instance. Resolve any issues with the network connectivity such as conflicts with firewalls, access control lists, and routing errors. Successful communication is necessary for automatic upgrades.") between the MID Server and the instance for automatic upgrades.
6. Optionally, [deploy multiple MID Servers](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/Db6PQgljVCvKe3xyUBFoYw#t_InstallMultplMIDSvrOnASingleSys "Install multiple MID Servers on the same host computer. Multiple MID Servers can support each other with load balancing, as well as use domain separation. The number of MID Servers required is determined by factors like network policies, security restraints, and the reliability of the host computer.") in your network for load balancing or when domain separation is enabled.

## MID Server guided setup {#mid-server-installation__section_k3k_mtk_chb}

Alternatively, the [MID
Server Guided Setup](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/0vcxW_w0Bf3BEbWl_rDd8w "MID Server guided setup provides a sequence of tasks that help you install a MID Server with the proper user account and validate the MID Server. If you are setting up a MID Server for the first time, this is a good way to get one up and running in your environment quickly.") streamlines the process and allows you to set up a
basic MID Server quickly.
