# Pentaho 11 Installation

#### Introduction

This page is intended for system administrators, DevOps engineers, and technical users who need to install or evaluate Pentaho Enterprise Edition 11 on Linux or Windows.

{% hint style="info" %}
Pentaho Enterprise Edition 11 is a data integration and analytics platform with tools for data ingestion, transformation, visualization, and reporting. Pentaho Enterprise runs on multiple operating systems, including Linux and Windows.

This page is the starting point for installing Pentaho Enterprise on **Linux** and **Windows**.

For production environments, you can install Pentaho Enterprise in one of the following ways:

* [**Archive (Linux)**](/pentaho-11-installation-en/installation/archive-installation.md) – Run the Pentaho Server on the Tomcat instance supplied by Pentaho.
* **Manual (advanced)** – Deploy the Pentaho Server on an existing Tomcat or JBoss web application server. This option is intended for experienced administrators and is not covered step-by-step in this workshop.
* [**Client tools**](/pentaho-11-installation-en/installation/archive-installation/install-client-tools.md) – Install only the Business Analytics (BA) or Data Integration (DI) client components.

For evaluation scenarios on Windows, you can use the guided installer:

* [**Enterprise evaluation (Windows)**](/pentaho-11-installation-en/installation/evaluation-installation.md) – Install a preconfigured evaluation environment using the Windows wizard.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
The Manual installation option is intended for experienced administrators who manage their own application servers (Tomcat or JBoss). This documentation does not provide a full step-by-step guide for Manual installations.
