The easiest way to install Coder is to use ourinstall script for Linuxand macOS. For Windows, use the latest..._installer.exe file from GitHubReleases.

To install, run:

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

You can preview what occurs during the install process:

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

You can modify the installation process by including flags. Run the help command for reference:

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

Seeinstall for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment¹ with a single command:

#Automatically sets up an external access URL on*.try.coder.appcoder server#Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URLcoder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

¹ The embedded database is great for trying out Coder with small deployments, but do consider using an external database for increased assurance and control.

Usecoder --help to get a complete list of flags and environment variables. Use ourquickstart guide for a full walkthrough.
