# Install Data Mover + Data Shaper + Data Watcher

## Planning initial installation and master configuration

Data One is a distributed, highly modular product that requires careful planning before installation on one or more physical or virtual machines.

One of the first architectural decisions is selecting the deployment model:

* **Standalone deployment**: independent nodes without cluster coordination
* **Cluster deployment**: one Control Node coordinating multiple Nodes

The recommended approach to installation planning is:

* Design the deployment topology, defining where each component will be installed
* Decide whether the environment will be deployed in Standalone or Cluster mode
* Provision machines with the correct prerequisites for the components they are designated to host
* Provision database resources dedicated to the product
* Configure existing network infrastructure, such as load balancers and firewalls, to correctly handle all required product communications

In the next sections, comprehensive information is provided to help system administrators correctly plan the Data One installation.

### From deployment planning to Data One installation

Actual product installation is a multi-step process structured as follows:

1. [Install the Data One Windows Installer](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/data-one-windows-installer/install-the-windows-installer.md)
2. [Configure database parameters](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/configure-database-parameters.md)
3. [Install in STANDALONE mode](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/standalone-mode.md) or [Install in CLUSTER mode](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/cluster-mode.md) 
4. [Configure load balancer rules](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/configure-load-balancer-rules-for-data-one-wui-access-on-ceman.md)
5. [Configure firewall rules](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/configure-firewall-rules.md)
6. [Start Windows Services](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/start-windows-services.md)
7. [Run Data One](/data-one-installation-manager/installation-on-windows/install-data-mover-+-data-shaper-+-data-watcher/running-the-system-for-the-first-time/launching-data-one-wui.md)
