### Offline service deployment

:::note[Important]
For services planned to be hosted on a server unreachable by [The Operator Computer](/capainstaller/the-capainstaller-console/general-console-settings-and-views/the-operator-computer/)... (e.g. in a DMZ zone or similar) offline deployment via the Back-end service can be used.
:::

Below is a description, with examples showing an offline deployment.

<details>
<summary>Offline deployment method...</summary>

- **Input** target computer for the service and **check** *Enable offline installation*  
  ![](/attachments/capainstaller/20342567559-Offlinedeploy.png)

- **Log in** as an administrator on the target computer
- Open a browser and c**heck** that the browser is in a state where downloads are allowed.
- **Insert URL** to the Back-end service appending */Install* and *fqdn=The target computers DNS name*

  ```java
  http://\<ciBackendServer\>:\<port\>/ciBackend/Install?fqdn=\<fqdn\>
  ```
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 is a prerequisite - if. NET4.6.2 is not available on the server **Click the link** to install
- **Click** *Install the Service* -  The installer executable file will be downloaded  
  ![](/attachments/capainstaller/20342567559-Offline-Deploy-browser.png)

- **Execute** the downloaded installer file
