# Encoder Library Installation

> Complete the Engine installation by adding the `libscanoss_encoder` library to `/usr/lib/`.

Before proceeding, ensure you have received the `libscanoss_encoder.tar.gz` package.
This is distributed via email upon licence activation.

## Installation

**1. Extract the archive**

```bash theme={null}
tar -xzvf libscanoss_encoder.tar.gz
```

The archive contains the following file:

```bash theme={null}
libscanoss_encoder.so
```

**2. Copy the library to the system libraries directory**

```bash theme={null}
sudo cp ./libscanoss_encoder.so /usr/lib/libscanoss_encoder.so
```

The `libscanoss_encoder` library is now installed.
