# Install an Akamas Workstation

The **Akamas CLI** allows users to invoke commands against the Akamas dedicated machine (**Akamas Server**). The Akamas CLI can also be installed on a different system (**Akamas Workstation**) than the Akamas Server. One or more Akamas Workstations can be installed.

## Prerequisites

Both Linux and Windows operating systems (64 bit systems) are supported for installing Akamas CLI.

When installing an Akamas Workstation, credentials to access the Akamas server are required to install the Akamas CLI.

## Installation steps

Installing an Akamas Workstation involves the same steps required to install the Akamas CLI on the Akamas Server:

1. [Setup the Akamas CLI](/akamas-docs/3.1.2/installing-akamas/install-the-akamas-cli/setup-the-akamas-cli.md)
2. [Verify the Akamas CLI](/akamas-docs/3.1.2/installing-akamas/install-the-akamas-cli/verify-the-akamas-cli.md)
3. [Initialize the Akamas CLI](/akamas-docs/3.1.2/installing-akamas/install-the-akamas-cli/initialize-akamas-cli.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.akamas.io/akamas-docs/3.1.2/installing-akamas/install-an-akamas-workstation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
