Install

A single CLI (coder) is used for both the Coder server and the client.

We support two release channels: mainline and stable - read the Releases page to learn more about which best suits your team.

There are several ways to install Coder. Follow the steps on this page for a minimal installation of Coder, or for a step-by-step guide on how to install and configure your first Coder deployment, follow the quickstart guide.

Local/Individual Installs

This install guide is meant for individual developers, small teams, and/or open source community members setting up Coder locally or on a single server. It covers the light weight install for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

Refer to GitHub releases for alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).

Hosted/Enterprise Installs

This install guide is meant for IT Administrators, DevOps, and Platform Teams deploying Coder for an organization. It covers production-grade, multi-user installs on Kubernetes and other hosted platforms.
