# Install
## install.sh
The easiest way to install Coder is to use our [install script](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/install.sh) for Linux and macOS.
To install, run:
```bash
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
```
You can preview what occurs during the install process:
```bash
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
```
You can modify the installation process by including flags. Run the help command for reference:
```bash
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --help
```
## System packages
Coder publishes the following system packages [in GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases):
- .deb (Debian, Ubuntu)
- .rpm (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE)
- .apk (Alpine)
Once installed, you can run Coder as a system service:
```sh
# Set up an external access URL or enable CODER_TUNNEL
sudo vim /etc/coder.d/coder.env
# Use systemd to start Coder now and on reboot
sudo systemctl enable --now coder
# View the logs to ensure a successful start
journalctl -u coder.service -b
```
## docker-compose
Before proceeding, please ensure that you have both Docker and the [latest version of
Coder](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) installed.
> See our [docker-compose](https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/93b78755a6d48191cc53c82654e249f25fc00ce9/docker-compose.yaml) file
> for additional information.
1. Clone the `coder` repository:
```console
git clone https://github.com/coder/coder.git
```
2. Navigate into the `coder` folder. Coder requires a non-`localhost` access URL
for non-Docker-based examples; if you have a public IP or a domain/reverse
proxy, you can provide this value before running `docker-compose up` to
start the service:
```console
cd coder
CODER_ACCESS_URL=https://coder.mydomain.com
docker-compose up
```
Otherwise, you can start the service:
```console
cd coder
docker-compose up
```
Alternatively, if you would like to start a **temporary deployment**:
```console
docker run --rm -it \
-e CODER_DEV_MODE=true \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
ghcr.io/coder/coder:v0.5.10
```
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your first template and workspace
## Manual
We publish self-contained .zip and .tar.gz archives in [GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases). The archives bundle `coder` binary.
1. Download the [release archive](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) appropriate for your operating system
1. Unzip the folder you just downloaded, and move the `coder` executable to a location that's on your `PATH`
```sh
# ex. MacOS and Linux
mv coder /usr/local/bin
```
> Windows users: see [this guide](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/adding-path-variable/97300613-20cb-4d85-8d0e-cc9d3549ba23) for adding folders to `PATH`.
1. Start a Coder server
```sh
# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server --tunnel
# Requires a PostgreSQL instance and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
```
## Next steps
Once you've installed and started Coder, see the [quickstart](./quickstart.md)
for instructions on creating your first template and workspace.
