# Quickstart

> Recommended way to deploy Onyx in minutes

## Installation Scripts

The scripts provide a guided installation in Docker Compose and will let you select between
Lite and Standard during setup.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Linux / macOS">
    ```bash  theme={null}
    curl -fsSL https://onyx.app/install_onyx.sh | bash
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows (PowerShell)">
    ```powershell  theme={null}
    irm https://onyx.app/install_onyx.ps1 | iex
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Or download the script and run it manually:

  <Card title="Linux / macOS (Bash)" icon="terminal" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/main/deployment/docker_compose/install.sh">
    Download **install.sh** and run it with `bash install.sh`.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Windows (PowerShell)" icon="windows" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/onyx-dot-app/onyx/main/deployment/docker_compose/install.ps1">
    Download **install.ps1** and run it with `.\install.ps1` in PowerShell.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  The install script can also be used to **upgrade** an existing deployment. Re-running the script
  will detect your current installation and prompt you to update to the latest version.
</Note>

The script will do the following:

* Check your system resources and requirements
* Let you choose between **Lite** and **Standard** deployment modes
* Pull the necessary deployment and configuration files
* Prompt for the version of Onyx to deploy and other basic configuration
* Pull the Onyx containers and start them in Docker

<Info>
  The script will create a directory called **onyx\_data** and there will also be a README in there with additional
  information.
