--- title: "Install" date: 2019-03-13T18:28:08-07:00 draft: false weight: 2 --- Start from a [release](/releases/) tarball or [building](https://github.com/cloudera/hue#getting-started) the project yourself. Makre sure you have the [dependencies](/administrator/installation/dependencies/) for your operating system. Then configure `$PREFIX` with the path where you want to install Hue by running: PREFIX=/usr/share make install cd /usr/share/hue You can install Hue anywhere on your system, and run Hue as a non-root user. It is a good practice to create a new user for Hue and either install Hue in that user's home directory, or in a directory within `/usr/share`. After the installation, you can start Hue on your Hue Server by doing: build/env/bin/supervisor This will start several subprocesses, corresponding to the different Hue components. Your Hue installation is now running. After installation, you can use Hue by navigating to `http://myserver:8888/`. Next step is to [configure](/administrator/configuration/) Hue to point to the external services. Then, the [user guide](/user/index.html) will help users go through the various installed applications.
