============ Installation

You're spoilt for choice, choose your preferred method of installation.

• :ref:installation container
• :ref:installation scripts
• :ref:installation basic

The :ref:installation basic is an excellent illustration of how a SearXNG instance is build up (see :ref:architecture uWSGI). If you do not have any special preferences, it's recommended to use the :ref:installation container or the :ref:installation scripts.

.. attention::

SearXNG is growing rapidly, you should regularly read our :ref:migrate and stay tuned section. If you want to upgrade an existing instance, you should read this section first!
