This is a step-by-step guide to installing an Anaconda Enterprise
Notebooks system  comprised of a front-end server, a gateway and
compute machines.

If you have any questions about these instructions or you
encounter any issues while installing AEN, please
contact your sales representative or Priority Support team.

When you have completed the installation process, review the
:doc:`optional configuration tasks <config/index>` to see if any
are appropriate for your system.


Distributed install
===================

In a distributed install the server and gateway run on separate
hosts.


Single-box install
==================

In a single-box install, both the server and the gateway need
separate external ports since they are independent services that
are running on the same host in the single-box installation.

Both port 80 and port 8089 must be open on the firewall for
a single-box install.

The compute node only receives connections from the gateway and
server nodes and typically runs on port 80 or port 443.
