> **Caution:** This documentation covers Edge for Private Cloud 4.19.06, which is no longer supported. Google does not provide security patches, bug fixes, or technical support for this version. The current supported version is 4.54.00. See the [Edge for Private Cloud documentation](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/latest/overview) for the current version, or [All versions](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/versions) to compare releases.

After you have ensured that all nodes in your Private Cloud cluster meet all
[requirements](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.06/mtls-intro#requirements) and you have performed the tasks in
[Before you begin](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.06/mtls-before), you can install the `apigee-mtls`
component.

(For information on performing an *offline* installation, see
[Install
Edge apigee-setup utility on a node with no external internet connection](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.06/install-edge-apigee-setup-utility#installedgeapigeesetuputilityonanodewithnoexternalinternetconnection).)

**To install Apigee mTLS:**

1. Log in to the node as root (or use `sudo` with the commands).
2. Check that all services are stopped (not running) by using the `status` command, as the following example shows:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-all status
   ```
3. Execute the following command:

   ```
   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service apigee-mtls install
   ```

   The installer installs the following RPMs with your Edge for the Private Cloud
   installation:
   - `apigee-mtls`
   - `apigee-mtls-consul`
4. Repeat steps 1 through 4 on *each node* in the cluster. Note that step 3 is optional.

**After installing Apigee mTLS on all nodes in the cluster, perform the following
steps:**

1. Configure `apigee-mtls` on all nodes as described in [Configure Apigee mTLS](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.06/mtls-configure).
2. (Optional) Verify your configuration as described in [Verify your
   configuration](https://docs.apigee.com/private-cloud/v4.19.06/mtls-verify).

Note that after installing Apigee mTLS on your Private Cloud cluster, you must be sure that when
you start components on a node, you start the `apigee-mtls` component *before* any
other component on the node.
