# Step 2: Unpack the Pentaho Server installation files

The Pentaho Server installation file is a package file and needs to be unpacked.

1. Unzip the Pentaho Server installation file. Inside is the packaged file.
2. Run the `install.bat` file to unpack the installation file.

   The IZPak window appears.
3. Read the license agreement in the IZPack window.
   1. Select the **I accept the terms of this license agreement** check box
   2. Click **Next**.
4. In the **Select the installation path** text box, browse to or enter the directory where you created the `\pentaho\server\pentaho-server` directory, and then click **Next**.

   A warning message appears informing you that the directory already exists.
5. Click **Yes**.

   Any existing files in the directory will be retained.
6. Click **Done** when the installation progress is complete.
7. In the `\pentaho-server` directory, navigate to the `\pentaho-server-manual-ee` directory created by the IZPak tool. Unzip the `.zip` files and place the contents in the appropriate directories listed below.
