-===== On premise installation =====+===== Where to place LUCY in an on-premise installation=====
  
-**Download:** +You can place LUCY in the intranet or within a secured zone (DMZ). If you want to allow external users (e.g. mobile users with smartphones) to access LUCY's websites (attack simulations or e-learning), an installation in the intranet is not recommended for security reasons.  The web server would be directly accessible from the InternetIn case of a vulnerability in the system or application, an attacker would have direct access to the intranet via the LUCY server. In such a case you should install LUCY in a separate zone. In that case you could consider using one LUCY instance only as a reverse proxy in that zone, and install the main application within the intranet as a "master instance". This configuration is described [[setting_up_a_lucy_master_slave|here]]. 
-If you have decided to do an on premise installation you will first need to download LUCY from our webpagePlease choose one of our installers or images:+
  
-  * **Virtual Box**: http://download.phishing-server.com/dl/lucy-latest/virtualbox.zip 
-  * **Linux Installer**: http://download.phishing-server.com/dl/lucy-latest/install.sh 
-  * **ESX/ESXi**: http://download.phishing-server.com/dl/lucy-latest/esxi.ova 
-  * **Vmware Image**: http://download.phishing-server.com/dl/lucy-latest/vmware.zip 
-  * **Amazon**: http://www.lucysecurity.com/PS/doc/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=installing_lucy_in_amazon 
- 
-If you require a different format (e.g. ovf), search for the according converter (e.g. search for "convert ova to ovf"). All downloads are automatically treated as a community edition.  
- 
-**License:** 
-For testing purposes please send us the workstation ID (http://www.lucysecurity.com/PS/doc/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=how_to_activate_lucy&s[]=#where_to_find_the_workstation_id). This will allows us to issue you a test license. If you want to directly purchase LUCY please consult this [[how_to_purchase_lucy|article]].

-**Where to place LUCY in an onsite installation?** 
-You can place LUCY in the intranet or within a secured zone (DMZ). If you setup LUCY within the intranet you will have to consider the following challenges: 
- 
-  * Mail integration: LUCY has different mail delivery methods. See [[mail_delivery_methods_in_lucy|this chapter]]. If you use the build in mail server, LUCY would need to be able to resolve the MX record and then deliver the mails to that public accessible server. As a result you probably need to open SMTP communication outbound. An easier method is using the internal mail server as a relay. In such a case LUCY would communicate with the internal mail server (A). You also need to allow relaying for the LUCY IP address on your internal mail server.

- 
-  * DNS integration: You can quickly setup new domains in LUCY. Details are described [[domain_configuration|here]]. Those domains could be used for the landing pages (Phishing or E-learning) or the mail sender. The internal clients will need to resolve those domains. Therefore, you need to create the according DNS entries also on your internal DNS server and point the records to LUCY. If the landing pages need to be access from users in the internet directly (without VPN), you need to make sure that the DNS records are also created on an external accessible DNS server. 
- 
-  * HTTP/HTTPS access: The landing pages and the E-learning needs to be accessible via http or https (see [[ssl_configuration|this chapter]] for SSL configuration). If users from the internet have to access those pages, you need to make sure that you have setup an according port forwarding rule on your firewall together with a NAT entry, that points to LUCY. 
- 
-  * Security products and whitelisting: You need to ensure that the LUCY IP is whitelisted on all your security products (mainly the SPAM filters). Otherwise you might end up blocking legitimate infrastructure elements within your own infrastructure. 
- 
-  * Securing the access: Once you finished the setup, you might want to prevent users from accessing the web based administration. In [[security_considerations|this chapter]] we discuss a few tips on how to secure LUCY. 
- 
- 
-If you setup LUCY in a DMZ, you could as well consider using a LUCY instance only as a reverse proxy in the secured zone, and install the main application within the intranet as a "master instance". This configuration is described [[setting_up_a_lucy_master_slave|here]]. Other than that, the challenges in a DMZ installation are the same as the ones described in the intranet installation above.

- 
-===== LUCY Vmware technical components ===== 
- 
-When you download and boot the VMware Image, all software components are integrated in that image. There is no need to install any additional software. All components (DB, mail server, web server etc,) are bundles within the VMware images and controlled by the internal LUCY software, which runs transparently in the background. The updating of those components is also done within the LUCY software through internal processes, which are not visible to the end user.
