Installing MIND can be done via Docker or via a manual instal. Docker requires less setup and has better support, but if your OS/system does not support Docker, you can also instal MIND directly on your OS via a manual instal.

!!! success "Recommended Installation"
    The recommended way to instal MIND is using Docker.

For instructions on installing MIND using Docker, see the [Docker installation instructions](./docker.md). For instructions on installing Kapowarr via a manual instal, see the [manual installation instructions](./manual_instal.md).

Updating an installation can also be found on the installation pages of the respective installation method.
