# Installing AutoSync

### Step 1: Download

Download the installer from the [releases page](https://github.com/lithnet/miis-autosync/releases/)

### Step 2: Configure and Install Prerequisites

Read the installation [prerequisites](/autosync-for-mim/installation/prerequisites.md) and create the service account. You should add the service account to the MIM sync admins group.

### Step 3: Install the service

**Specify the service account credentials**

Provide the details of the account created in the [prerequisites](/autosync-for-mim/installation/prerequisites.md) section. Note the password is not validated by the installer, so ensure it is correct.

**Specify the log path and admin group**

Specify the path that AutoSync will use to write its log files. You also need to provide the name of the group that is allowed to configure the AutoSync service. By default, the FIMSyncAdmins group is used, but any existing domain or local group can be used. Please note if you create a new group, you may need to log off and log back on after installing AutoSync before the new permissions take effect.

### Step 4: Configure the service

Launch the AutoSync editor, and review the topic on [configuration](/autosync-for-mim/installation/configuring-the-autosync-service.md) for more details on how to configure the AutoSync service.

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lithnet.io/autosync-for-mim/installation/installing-autosync.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
