# Installing Coder
|
|
|
|
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](./releases/index.md) 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](../tutorials/quickstart.md).
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> If you use a coding agent like Claude Code, the [coder/skills](https://github.com/coder/skills) `setup` skill can train the coding agent to install and bootstrap a Coder deployment end-to-end.

## 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.

|
## Linux/macOS
|
|
|
|
Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Refer to [GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) for
|
|
alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).
|
|
|
|
## Windows
|
|
|
|
If you plan to use the built-in PostgreSQL database, ensure that the
|
|
[Visual C++ Runtime](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-US/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist#latest-microsoft-visual-c-redistributable-version)
|
|
is installed.
|
|
|
|
Use [GitHub releases](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases) to download the
|
|
Windows installer (`.msi`) or standalone binary (`.exe`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can use the
|
|
[`winget`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/winget/#use-winget)
|
|
package manager to install Coder:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
winget install Coder.Coder
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## 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.

|
|
|
|
|
