Installing Coder
A single CLI (coder) is used for both the Coder server and the client.
We support two release channels: mainline and stable - read the Releases page to learn more about which best suits your team.
There are several ways to install Coder. Follow the steps on this page for a minimal installation of Coder, or for a step-by-step guide on how to install and configure your first Coder deployment, follow the quickstart guide.
Tip
If you're installing Coder for the first time, the Quickstart guides you through installing Coder and launching your first workspace.
Local/Individual Installs
This install guide is meant for individual developers, small teams, and/or open source community members setting up Coder locally or on a single server. It covers the light weight install for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Linux/macOS
Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
Refer to GitHub releases for alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).
Windows
If you plan to use the built-in PostgreSQL database, ensure that the Visual C++ Runtime is installed.
Use GitHub releases to download the
Windows installer (.msi) or standalone binary (.exe).
Alternatively, you can use the
winget
package manager to install Coder:
winget install Coder.Coder
Hosted/Enterprise Installs
This install guide is meant for IT Administrators, DevOps, and Platform Teams deploying Coder for an organization. It covers production-grade, multi-user installs on Kubernetes and other hosted platforms.
