# Launching SUM in GUI mode from an ISO

##

Run SUM on a Windows or Linux operating system.

NOTE:

If there is no CHIF driver on a Windows node when you launch SUM, SUM automatically installs the CHIF driver. To skip installing the CHIF driver, use the parameter `/skip_prereqs`.

Procedure

1. Copy the files from the ISO to your local host.
2. Run `launch_sum.bat` (Windows) or `launch_sum.sh` (Linux) from the directory that contains the ISO.

##

NOTE:

If you are using Gnome Virtual file system, manually extract the ISO and save them in a directory. Then launch SUM.
