## Installing CS:Govern (Linux or Mac)

Installing CS:Govern takes a few seconds and does not touch any system files. You should not need root permissions.

* Make sure your computer meets the prerequisites.
  * Java 1.8 (or above) must be installed.
* Download CS:Govern from CapStorm
* Change to the same directory as where CopyStorm is installed (usually /opt/capstorm with *CopyStorm* as a subdirectory). Be sure that you have administrative privileges on this directory so that you can unzip the download into this location (see the next step.)
* Unzip the downloaded zip file into the “/opt/capstorm” directory. A single directory named CSGovern will be created.
* Go to the “/opt/capstorm/CSGovern” directory and:
  * Run the command “sh CSGovern.sh” (or make the launch script executable).
