 +====== Installation ======
 +
 +// This page refers to VuFind 2.x and later; installation of earlier versions is no longer recommended. //
 +
 +===== Getting Started =====
 +
 +If you are new to VuFind, you should start by reading the [[installation:notes|Installation Notes]] to orient yourself. You may also want to review VuFind's hardware and software [[installation:requirements]], and the [[administration:vufind_for_project_managers|VuFind for Project Managers]] page.
 +
 +For a broader introduction, try the [[https://github.com/vufind-org/learning-vufind-book|Learning VuFind]] book or our [[:videos|Video Tutorials]].
 +===== Platform-Specific Documentation =====
 +
 +VuFind is designed to be able to be installed on many different platforms.
 +Choose from the following installation documents based on the platform of your choice:
 +
 +  * [[installation:fedora|VuFind on Fedora Linux]] (adaptable to RedHat flavors)
 +  * [[https://github.com/NatLibFi/NDL-VuFind2/wiki/VuFind-3-and-Later-with-MAMPStack-on-Mac-OS-X|VuFind on Mac]] (external link; may not be completely up to date)
 +  * [[installation:ubuntu|VuFind on Ubuntu Linux]] (adaptable to Debian flavors)
 +  * [[installation:windows|VuFind on Windows]]
 +
 +:!: The instructions above assume you will be downloading a packaged VuFind release. If you prefer to install VuFind directly from a [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind|GitHub]] checkout, check the [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/blob/dev/README.md|README]] for additional instructions.
 +
 +===== Going Live =====
 +
 +Once the software is installed, be sure to review the [[administration:production_checklist|Production Checklist]] for some important things to consider prior to going live.
 +
 +===== Upgrading VuFind =====
 +
 +  * [[installation:migration_notes|Migration Notes]]
 +
 +===== Live DVD =====
 +
 +Healthnet Nepal has pre-configured a live DVD with VuFind and some other complementary open source applications at their Sourceforge pages: [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/livedvdvufindkohailsdspace/|32-bit version]], [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/livedvdvufindkohadspace/|64-bit version]]. This may be a useful way to evaluate the software with minimal effort.
 +
 +===== Advanced Topics =====
 +
 +  * [[installation:docker|Docker]] - VuFind can be deployed using Docker
 +  * [[development:recommended_tools:git|Git]] - Git can be a useful way of managing and upgrading a local VuFind installation.
 +  * [[installation:installing_multiple_instances|Installing Multiple Instances]] - If just one VuFind isn't enough.
 +  * [[installation:php_oci|Installing the PHP OCI Driver for Oracle]] - How to connect to Oracle (required by Voyager and some other ILSes).
 +  * [[installation:nginx|Nginx]] - Notes on using Nginx in place of Apache
 +  * [[installation:remote_solr_back-end|Remote Solr Back-end]] - Note on installing Solr on a separate server from the rest of VuFind
 +  * [[installation:vagrant|Vagrant]] - VuFind can be installed in a Vagrant development environment
