# Installing the Amazon DCV Server on Linux
The Amazon DCV server is installed using a series of RPM or .deb packages, depending on your host server's operating system. The packages install all required packages and their dependencies, and perform the required server configuration.
**Note**
You must be signed in as the root user to install the Amazon DCV server.
## Install the Amazon DCV Server

#### [ Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 ]
The Amazon DCV server is available for Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 servers based on the 64-bit x86 and 64-bit ARM architectures.
**Important**
The `nice-dcv-gl` and `nice-dcv-gltest` packages aren't available for servers based on the 64-bit ARM architecture.
**To install the Amazon DCV server on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04**
1. Launch and connect to the server where you intend to install the Amazon DCV server.
1. The Amazon DCV server packages are digitally signed with a secure GPG signature. To allow the package manager to verify the package signature, you must import the Amazon DCV GPG key. To do so, open a terminal window and import the Amazon DCV GPG key.
```
$ wget https://d1uj6qtbmh3dt5.cloudfront.net/NICE-GPG-KEY
```
```
$ gpg --import NICE-GPG-KEY
```
1. Download the packages from the [Amazon DCV download website](http://download.amazondcv.com). The deb packages are packaged into a `.tgz` archive. Make sure that you download the correct archive for your operating system.
