# Installing Aizen

The Aizen installation consists of installing the Aizen infrastructure and then installing the Aizen core components:

* [Installing the Infrastructure Components](/docs/installation/installing-aizen/installing-the-infrastructure-components.md)
* [Installing the Core Components](/docs/installation/installing-aizen/installing-the-core-components.md)

If you are doing model training on GPU nodes, you will need to install Aizen remote components. See [Installing Aizen Remote Components](/docs/installation/installing-aizen-remote-components.md). You may also want to install optional components after installing Aizen. See [Installing Optional Components](/docs/installation/installing-optional-components.md).

Before you start the installation, make sure that you meet all hardware requirements (see [Hardware Requirements](/docs/installation/setting-up-your-environment/hardware-requirements.md)) and that you have installed all the required software on your cluster. See [Software Requirements](/docs/installation/installing-aizen/software-requirements.md). Also, make sure that you have added the Aizen Helm charts and have obtained credentials for the Aizen microservice images. See [Software Requirements](/docs/installation/installing-aizen/software-requirements.md#adding-the-aizen-helm-charts) and [Software Requirements](/docs/installation/installing-aizen/software-requirements.md#getting-credentials-for-the-aizen-microservice-images).

{% hint style="info" %}
To get information about the current installations of Aizen on your cluster, see these [Helpful Deployment Commands](/docs/installation/installing-aizen/helpful-deployment-commands.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://aizen-corp.gitbook.io/docs/installation/installing-aizen.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.
