The component is installed automatically when you do a clean Parallels RAS install using the "Typical" installation option. You can also install the component using the "Custom" installation option and choosing the "RAS Web Administration Service" as the component to install. For example, if you want to install RAS Management Portal on a dedicated machine, you should use the "Custom" installation option and select "RAS Web Administration Service" as a component to install. After the RAS Web Administration Service is installed, you need to configure it. Specifically, you need to specify a RAS Farm that the RAS Management Portal will be used to manage, and you also need to configure a number of other parameters. For complete instructions, please see **C**[**onfigure RAS Web Administration Service**](/landing/ras-mp-guide/get-started-with-ras-management-portal/configure-ras-web-administration-service.md). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-mp-guide/installation-and-configuration/installation.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. 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.
