## How to Install
The two ways to get up and running with mifos platform is:
The three ways to get up and running with mifos platform is:
1. Use Amazon AWS and mifosplatform public AMI to spin up a new instance in the cloud
2. Manually install the prerequisite software on your own machine, follow setup instructions and use release artifacts to get platform running yourself.
1. The first (and the easiest) method is to just fire up the launch script provided in the release artifact and Mifos takes care of all the database, server-side and client-side setup for you.

3. Manually install the prerequisite software on your own machine, follow setup instructions and use release artifacts to get platform running yourself.
## 1. Amazon Public AMI
## 1. Launch script automatic out-of-the box setup
The Mifos release artifact contains two launch scripts with names starting with "**runmifosx**". One of them (the one with the *.bat* file extension) is used to launch the platform on a Windows machine while the other (which has the *.sh* file extension) is used to launch the platform on Mac OS X and Linux. Just double-click on the respective script (depending on your OS) and voila! you have your own Mifos X platform running locally on your computer.
**Note**: *In case your script does not launch by double clicking on Linux or Mac OS X, here's what you can do. Head over to bash and type the following:*
```
$ cd /path/where/runmifosx.sh/is/located
$ chmod 0755 ./runmifosx.sh
$ ./runmifosx.sh
```
## 2. Amazon Public AMI

#### 3.2.1 First Time Database setup
Mifos platform has support for hosting multiple tenants so we use two database schemas:
- *mifosplatform-tenants*: which is responsible for persisting the tenant information which is used when deciding what schema each incoming request in the platform should route to. It acts as a registry which contains the details of all the tenant databases, and their connection information, which is used by MifosX to connect to the appropriate tenant.

The list database *mifosplatform-tenants* is upgraded when the application starts. Any *tenant* databases will also be upgraded automatically when the application starts if the *auto_update* field of the *tenants* database table is enabled(=1). This is the default setting.
Upgrading your database in this way is the recommended way as it will upgrade any *tenants* setup in the *mifosplatform-tenants* database but can be disabled by setting the *auto_update* field of the tenant to zero.

## How to integrate the web front-end UI with the back-end
To be able to use the front-end UI along with the back-end, you simply need to copy the webapp's source code files to the ```apps``` folder. For instance, you could copy the source code files of the community app to ```apps/community-app```. This would enable you to access the commuity app from the following URL:
*https://[server ip address]:8443/mifosng-provider/apps/community-app?baseApiUrl=https://[server ip address]:8443*
