- When you install the first instance of CUE Solution on the server, the Cue Solution Setup will ask you at the beginning of the installation where you want to install Kibana and Elasticsearch. Here, select the folders you created according to [this step](https://cue.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/Dep/pages/802422795).


- Under **Elasticsearch memory limit**, set the maximum amount of RAM that Elasticsearch can use. We recommend using 30 - 40% of the total available RAM on the server.
- Click **Next **to continue the installation.
