.. sidebar:: Update the OS first!
To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing SearXNG.
The following will install a setup as shown in :ref:the reference architecture <arch public>. First you need to get a clone of the repository. The clone is only needed for
the installation procedure and some maintenance tasks.

toolboxingJump to a folder that is readable by others and start to clone SearXNG, alternatively you can create your own fork and clone from there.

inspect searxngTo install a SearXNG :ref:reference setup <use_default_settings.yml>

:ref:installation basic and in the :ref:searxng uwsgi section type:

$ sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install all
.. attention::
For the installation procedure, use a sudoer login to run the scripts. If
you install from root, take into account that the scripts are creating a
searxng user. In the installation procedure this new created user does
need to have read access to the cloned SearXNG repository, which is not the case if you clone
it into a folder below /root!

When all services are installed and running fine, you can add SearXNG to your HTTP server. We do not have any preferences regarding the HTTP server, you can use whatever you prefer.
