# Deploying components in WAS 6.1

Liferay must pre-process Discovery Framework components before they can be deployed in WAS 6.1.

Important: The Discovery Framework requires the Endeca Theme in order to start up. Even if you do not intend to use the Endeca Theme in production, you should deploy the Endeca Theme (endeca-theme-<version>.war).

To deploy Discovery Framework components in WAS 6.1:

1. Copy all component .war files to ${liferay.home}/deploy.
2. Wait while Liferay pre-processes the .war files and places them in the ${liferay.home}websphere-deploy directory.
3. Deploy the .war files generated in step 2 as modules in the Discovery Framework enterprise application. There are two ways to do this:
   - Through the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
   - At the command line, using wsadmin.

More details on each of these options appear in the following topics.
