# Step 1. Install VE Service and Web UI

::: important

If you want to install Veeam MP for Veeam Backup & Replication components separately, you must first [import Veeam management packs](import_veeam_management_packs.md) — and then install the VE Service, web UI and Collectors.

:::

To install the VE Service and web UI, do the following:

1. Log in to the machine where you want to install MP for Veeam Backup & Replication using the account with the local Administrator rights. 
2. Mount the installation image.
3. On the splash screen, click **Install**.
4. Complete the **Veeam Management Pack Setup** wizard:

   1. At the **License Agreement** step, read and accept the Veeam license agreement, the licensing policy, the 3rd party components license agreement and the license agreement of the required software. 

      If you reject the agreements, you will not be able to continue installation.

   2. At the **Program Features** step, make sure that the **Veeam Virtualization Extensions Service and web UI** check box is selected.

      If the setup wizard detects Veeam Backup & Replication running on your machine, it will offer you to install a Veeam Data Collector for Veeam Backup & Replication on this machine. If you have any other backup servers in your virtual infrastructure, you will have to [install the Veeam Data Collector component](install_veeam_backup_collector.md) on these servers manually after you complete the wizard.

   3. At the **License** step, browse to a local folder on your workstation to locate the license file provided to you by Veeam. To do that, click **Browse** **to local license file**.

      Note that you will not be able to continue installation without providing a license.

   4. At the **Service Account** step, enter credentials of an account under which the Veeam Virtualization Extensions Service will run. The account must be a member of the local *Administrators* group. The user name must be specified in the *DOMAIN\\USERNAME* format. 

      For more information on accounts and privileges, see the Veeam MP for VMware User Guides, section [Required Permissions](https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/mp/vmware_guide/accounts_and_privileges.html?ver=13).

      ::: note

      After you click **Next**, the setup wizard will run the system configuration check and will automatically install the missing ASP.NET Core Runtime and .NET runtime components (if any).

      :::

   5. At the **Ready to Install** step, review the default installation configuration. Click **Install** to begin installation. Wait for the installation process to complete and click **Finish** to exit the setup wizard.

      ::: tip

      By default, the setup wizard will use the *C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Veeam MP for Microsoft System Center* folder to install the Veeam Data Collector component. If you want to change the default installation folder, click **Customize Settings**.

      :::

When installation completes, log out and then log in again to create the *Veeam Virtualization Extensions Users* local group that will be used to accommodate the service account. If there are other users who will need access to the web UI to configure the VMware monitoring, add these user accounts to this group in System Center Operations Manager manually.
