# Installation
Binaries can be downloaded for [windows](https://github.com/5Sigma/conductor/releases/latest/download/conductor-windows.zip), [Linux](https://github.com/5Sigma/conductor/releases/latest/download/conductor-linux.tar.gz),
or [MacOS](https://github.com/5Sigma/conductor/releases/latest/download/conductor-darwin.zip)
## Homebrew
On MacOS Conductor can be installed via Homebrew
```sh
brew tap 5sigma/tap
brew install conductor
```
# Setting up a project
To setup a project for conductor you need to create a `conductor.yaml` somewhere in your project tree.
We will assume you have a stack that consists of 2 seperate components in a directory structure that looks
like this:
```sh
/project
/frontend/
/backend/
/support_service/
```
## Settting up a conductor.yml
Conductor will search for a `conductor.yaml` anywhere in or above the current working directory. We will put the configuration
in the root `/project/` folder so it is accessible from any of the component projects.

For more information see the full <a ui button right floated" href="/articles/config">Config documentation</a>
{{< /infobox >}}
An example of a minimal configuration file could look like this:
```yaml
components:
- name: frontend
start:
command: npm
args:
- start
- name: backend
start:
command: npm
args:
- start
- name: support
start:
command: python
args:
- main.py
```
Now from the project folder or any folder below it we can launch all 3 components using:
```sh
conductor run
```
Alternatively, we can run a single component by name:
```sh
conductor backend
```
