## Prerequisites
* {% data reusables.enterprise_installation.software-license %}
* You must have access to an installation of OpenStack Horizon, the web-based user interface to OpenStack services. For more information, see the [Horizon documentation](https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/).
## Hardware considerations
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.hardware-considerations-all-platforms %}
## Downloading the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} image
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.download-license %}
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.download-appliance %}
1. Under "{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} On-premises", select the "Select your hypervisor" dropdown menu and click **OpenStack KVM (QCOW2)**.
1. Click **Download for OpenStack KVM (QCOW2)**.
## Creating the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.create-ghe-instance %}
1. In OpenStack Horizon, upload the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} image you downloaded. For instructions, see the "Upload an image" section of the OpenStack guide [Upload and manage images](https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/user/manage-images.html).
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.create-attached-storage-volume %} For instructions, see the OpenStack guide [Create and manage volumes](https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/user/manage-volumes.html).
1. Create a security group, and add a new security group rule for each port in the table below. For instructions, see the OpenStack guide [Configure access and security for instances](https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/user/configure-access-and-security-for-instances.html).
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.necessary_ports %}
1. Optionally, associate a floating IP to the instance. Depending on your OpenStack setup, you may need to allocate a floating IP to the project and associate it to the instance. Contact your system administrator to determine if this is the case for you. For more information, see [Allocate a floating IP address to an instance](https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/user/configure-access-and-security-for-instances.html#allocate-a-floating-ip-address-to-an-instance) in the OpenStack documentation.
1. Launch {% data variables.location.product_location %} using the image, data volume, and security group created in the previous steps. For instructions, see the OpenStack guide [Launch and manage instances](https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/user/launch-instances.html).
## Configuring the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance
