# How Do I Install Discourse?
It is still early times for Discourse. From [our FAQ](http://www.discourse.org/faq/):
If you want the easiest possible install:
[**Beginner Docker install guide for Digital Ocean**][do]
> Discourse is brand new. Discourse is early beta software, and likely to remain so for many months.
> Please experiment with it, play with it, give us feedback, submit pull requests – but any consideration
> of fully adopting Discourse is for people and organizations who are eager to live on the bleeding and broken edge.
If you want a powerful, flexible install:
[**Advanced Docker install guide**][docker]
Still interested?
The only officially supported installs of Discourse are the [Docker](https://www.docker.io/) based beginner and advanced installs, above. We regret that we cannot directly support any other methods of installation.
### [**Click here for the OFFICIAL INSTALL GUIDE**][1]
Alternately, you can try the [unofficial Heroku install guide][heroku], the [unofficial Ubuntu install guide][ubuntu], the [BitNami Discourse Virtual Machine package][bitnami] or [Cloud66][cloud66].

- Run several Rails processes, preferably behind a proxy like Nginx.
### Low memory (less than 2 GB)
