# How Do I Install Discourse?
|
|
|
|
Simple 30 minute basic install:
|
|
[**Beginner Docker install guide for Digital Ocean**][do]
|
|
|
|
Powerful, flexible, large or multiple server install:
|
|
[**Advanced Docker install guide**][docker]
|
|
|
|
The only officially supported installs of Discourse are the [Docker](https://www.docker.io/) based beginner and advanced installs. We regret that we cannot support any other methods of installation. (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].)

### Hardware Requirements

- Dual core CPU recommended
|
|
- 1 GB RAM minimum (with [swap][swap]), 2 GB recommended
