## Getting Started
2020-05-12 05:46:38 +00:00
2021-03-08 21:24:35 +00:00
There are three ways you can get started:
2020-05-12 05:46:38 +00:00
2021-06-24 16:21:28 +00:00
1. Using the [install script ](https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/main/install.sh ), which automates most of the process. The script uses the system package manager (if possible)
2. Manually installing code-server; see [Installation ](./install.md ) for instructions applicable to most use cases
2021-03-08 23:58:43 +00:00
3. Use our one-click buttons and guides to [deploy code-server to a popular cloud provider ](https://github.com/cdr/deploy-code-server ) ⚡

If you choose to use the install script, you can preview what occurs during the install process:
2020-05-20 03:41:28 +00:00
```bash
2020-05-27 19:48:03 +00:00
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh -s -- --dry-run
2020-05-21 19:17:02 +00:00
```
2019-09-18 18:21:38 +00:00
2020-10-29 21:21:47 +00:00
To install, run:
2020-05-12 05:46:38 +00:00
```bash
2020-05-21 21:10:29 +00:00
curl -fsSL https://code-server.dev/install.sh | sh
2020-05-12 05:46:38 +00:00
```
2020-10-29 21:21:47 +00:00
When done, the install script prints out instructions for running and starting code-server.
2020-05-22 19:38:03 +00:00
2021-06-24 16:21:28 +00:00
We also have an in-depth [setup and configuration ](./guide.md ) guide.
