title: How to Deploy the App-V 5.1 Server

# How to Deploy the App-V 5.1 Server
Use the following procedure to install the Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 5.1 server. For information about deploying the App-V 5.1 Server, see [About App-V 5.1](about-app-v-51.md#bkmk-migrate-to-51).
**Before you start:**
- Ensure that youve installed prerequisite software. See [App-V 5.1 Prerequisites](app-v-51-prerequisites.md).
- Review the server section of [App-V 5.1 Security Considerations](app-v-51-security-considerations.md).
- Specify a port where each component will be hosted.
- Add firewall rules to allow incoming requests to access the specified ports.
- If you use SQL scripts, instead of the Windows Installer, to set up the Management database or Reporting database, you must run the SQL scripts before installing the Management Server or Reporting Server. See [How to Deploy the App-V Databases by Using SQL Scripts](how-to-deploy-the-app-v-databases-by-using-sql-scripts51.md).
**To install the App-V 5.1 server**
1. Copy the App-V 5.1 server installation files to the computer on which you want to install it.
2. Start the App-V 5.1 server installation by right-clicking and running **appv\_server\_setup.exe** as an administrator, and then click **Install**.
3. Review and accept the license terms, and choose whether to enable Microsoft updates.
4. On the **Feature Selection** page, select all of the following components.

# Migrating to App-V 5.1 from a Previous Version
With Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V) 5.1, you can migrate your existing App-V 4.6 or App-V 5.0 infrastructure to the more flexible, integrated, and easier to manage App-V 5.1 infrastructure.
However, you cannot migrate directly from App-V 4.x to App-V 5.1, you must migrate to App-V 5.0 first. For more information on migrating from App-V 4.x to App-V 5.0, see [Migrating from a Previous Version](migrating-from-a-previous-version-app-v-50.md)
