# Install Applications

> Install SCANOSS system dependencies and applications using the `install-scanoss.sh` script.

The [`install-scanoss.sh`](https://github.com/scanoss/on-premise/blob/main/install/install-scanoss.sh) script handles the full installation of SCANOSS, from setting up system dependencies and SFTP credentials to downloading and installing all application components.

## Running the Script

```bash theme={null}
sudo ./install-scanoss.sh
```

Once executed, you will be presented with the following menu:

```bash theme={null}
SCANOSS Installation Menu
------------------------
1) Install Everything
2) Install Dependencies
3) Setup SFTP Credentials
4) Download Application
5) Install Application
6) Quit

Enter your choice [1-6]:
```

For a standard installation, select option **1) Install everything**.

Once the installation finishes, start the API service with:

```bash theme={null}
sudo systemctl start scanoss-go-api.service
```

## Next Steps
