# Installing a Stand-alone Multi-Protocol Feed Server

Installing a stand-alone server is easy. Copy the directory `\Multi-Protocol` to a local location on your hard drive and modify the .bat or .sh file to point to a valid Java Runtime Environment. Alternatively, you can start the feed server from within the Composable Agentic Platform Server installation.

You will need to set one or more of the following properties in the configuration file on the server:

<figure><img src="/files/JjkxDrXvVy6oPIS0LIg2" alt=""><figcaption><p>magic.properties file</p></figcaption></figure>

This configuration file (`magic.properties`) is found in the root folder for each server instance that is installed. The section below explains each setting in detail.

Once the configuration is set, execute the Tomorrow\.bat file to start the server (or the Tomorrow\.sh file if using Linux or Solaris). You should include a shortcut to this bat file in the startup group for the operating system to ensure it is automatically started whenever the server starts. Alternatively, refer to the sections[ **Installing as a Windows Service**](/cap/product-reference/installation-and-configuration/server-installation.md#installing-as-a-windows-service) or [**Installing as a Linux Service**](/cap/product-reference/installation-and-configuration/server-installation.md#installing-as-a-linux-service).

Multiple server instances can co-exist on the same system provided they each have a separate port and home directory name.
