# Install the Akamas license

Logging into Akamas requires a valid Akamas license.

To install a license get in touch with Akamas Customer Service to receive:

* the Akamas license file
* your assigned values for the `AKAMAS_CUSTOMER` and `AKAMAS_BASE_URL` variables referenced in the license file
* login credentials

Once you have this information, you can issue the following commands:

```bash
cd <your bundle files location>

akamas install license <license file you have been provided>

akamas login
# prompt for user and password
```
