# Installing NodePad

> Enterprise installation is delivered with a deployment package and direct support.

Install instructions for NodePad Enterprise are part of the deployment package you receive after the team scopes the right posture for your environment.

## How install works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Scope the deployment with the team" icon="mail">
    Share what your environment looks like — connectivity, target platform, identity, and capacity. We will recommend the right posture (connected, proxied mirror, fully air-gapped, or single-host pilot).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive the deployment package" icon="package">
    You get the install bundle, the configuration template, and a step-by-step install manual matched to your posture.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Walk through install with support" icon="users">
    A direct support channel stays open during the rollout. We help you fill in the configuration template, run the install, and verify the result.
  </Step>
