# Download the Pentaho Data Optimizer software

Follow the steps below to download the Data Optimizer install files and verify the integrity of the files. This task assumes you know how to calculate an MD5 checksum.

1. Download both the `TAR` file containing the custom service descriptor (CSD) file and the parcel for Pentaho Data Optimizer from the [Support Portal](https://support.pentaho.com/hc/en-us). The file is named `pdso-1.3.x.x-el7.tar`.
2. Verify the downloaded content.
   1. Calculate the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file.
   2. Compare it to the MD5 checksum provided on the software download page.
   3. Ensure the two values match.
3. Extract the contents of the `pdso-1.3.x.x-el7.tar` file to a directory.

The contents of the directory are extracted.

| File name                    | Description                                                                |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `pdso-1.3.x.x-el7.parcel`    | The Pentaho Data Optimizer parcel.                                         |
| `pdso-1.3.x.xel7.parcel.sha` | A SHA-1 checksum of the parcel file, used for the local parcel repository. |
| `manifest.json`              | A manifest for the hosted parcel repository.                               |
| `pdso-1.3.x.x-el7.jar`       | The file containing the custom service descriptor.                         |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## 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.pentaho.com/pdc-10.2-data-optimizer/pdso-install-landing-page/pdso-install-in-hadoop-cluster/pdso-install-landing-page-hadoop-installation/installing-data-storage-optimizer-on-cloudera-manager-cluster-cp/download-the-pentaho-data-storage-optimizer-software.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.
