# Install
This refers to the provisioning alternatives for getting Chevereto installed in your server. It takes from granted that your server meets all the system requirements.
Using VPS?
If you are installing on a VPS check our Root install (LEMP) and Root install (OpenLiteSpeed) guides.
New into self-hosting? Check the user powered guides and our recommendation on hosting providers.
# Procedures
# A. Install using our Installer (recommended)
The chevereto/installer (opens new window) is a single .php file which will download and extract the latest release in the target destination.
- Upload the installer (opens new window) to your server target destination (usually the
public_htmlfolder). - Open your website at
/installer.phpand follow the process.
The installer will prompt with steps to install the software, after that it will download the software, extract it and it will post to /install the data previously provided.
# Troubleshoot
Don't panic
The installer works on top of HTTP so it relies in many sub-systems that could fail. If doesn't work for you the recommendation is to follow another install procedure.
- If you get an Unable to perform HTTP request it means that URL rewriting and/or other systems are preventing the installer to issue HTTP requests to
/install. - It fails before extracting the software: Switch to manual installation
- It fails after extracting the software: Go to
/installto continue the process
⚠ In both cases REMOVE the installer.php file
# B. Install using Docker
Docker allows you to easily install a container version of the software.

Paid edition
Note: Our paid edition isn't available in these script libraries. However, you can install Chevereto Free and then one-click upgrade it to the paid edition directly from the /dashboard panel.
# Cron
At /dashboard you will find the required cron entry for your installation. You must provide this to fullfil the application background jobs.
# Install issues
Most common install issue is missing system requirements so make sure that you are running a compatible system and that all the data is correct like working MySQL credentials and privileges.
