# Data Mover Smart Installer

The **Data Mover Smart Installer** application allows you to install, upgrade and restore Data Mover Smart.

This **installer application** comes with the Data Mover Smart software package in two versions, one for Linux and one for Windows:

* **dms-installer-linux-\<version>.tar.gz**
* **dms-installer-win-\<version>.zip**&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}

* Use **installer version 1.1.7** for installing **DMS versions 1.1.8 and later**.
* Use **installer version 1.1.6** for installing **DMS versions prior to 1.1.8.**
  {% endhint %}

## Installing the Data Mover Smart Installer

Extract the Data Mover Smart Installer package in the `<installer_folder>` you have created.

Apart from the files of the installer itself, you will find:

* a `repo` folder
* a `setup` script

### The repository folder

The `<installer_folder>` contains a `repo` folder, where the Data Mover Smart packages must be saved for the first installation and subsequent upgrades.

The `setup` script uses these packages to install or update Data Mover Smart.

### The setup script

The setup script includes several commands:

* `dms` command\
  Use this command to install **Data Mover Smart** from scratch or to upgrade an existing installation to the latest version.
* `dms gateway` command\
  Use this command to install **Data Mover Smart Gateway** from scratch or to upgrade an existing Data Mover Smart Gateway installation to the latest version.
* `tools` utility command\
  Use this utility command to **obfuscate a password**.\
  Run it every time an obfuscated password is required by Data Mover Smart.

For this release, you can ignore the `dms central` and `plugins` commands.
