# Installation on existing client # Installation on existing client
A straightforward way to test the lmn-client is to manually run the playbook on a freshly installed client. An easy method to test the lmn-client is to run the playbook manual on a fresh installed client.
This can be done in the following ways:
On the client using ansible-pull
On the client by checking out the lmn-client repository and running the playbook locally
On a target device by checking out the lmn-client repository locally and executing the playbook against the target device

## Using your own livebox server
## Using your own repository and LinuxMuster.Net tftp
If you fork the lmn-client repository, you can customize the preseeding and inventory to your needs.
Use the instructions in the previous section and customize the repository in `/srv/linbo/boot/grub/lmnclient.cfg`.
It makes sense to encrypt your inventory via `ansible-vault`.
When using encrypted inventories you have to provide the vault password by commenting in the two lines in the `/srv/linbo/boot/grub/lmnclient.cfg`.
## Using your own repository and livebox tftp
The next improvement will be to use your own livebox with following functionalities:
* Providing linux kernel and initial ramdisk for installer
* Can be used as cache for debian packages (aptcacher)
* Can provide mscorefonts and libdvdcss (multimedia codecs)
* Can be used to boot live systems (netboot) via pxe
### Installing the livebox server
* Install debian VM and configure network
* Install additional packages: ansible
`sudo apt install ansible`
* Run livebox playbook
`ansible-pull -i localhost, --url=https://salsa.debian.org/andi/debian-lan-ansible.git -C master livebox.yml`
* Set DNS entry for your new livebox server
### Modification LinuxMuster.Net server
The file `/srv/linbo/boot/grub/lmnclient.cfg` might look like this:
```
