Directus can be installed in many different ways and on several different stacks. You can choose between local, self-hosted on-premises, or our managed Cloud solution.
While our CLI is the recommended method for self-hosting, you can use whichever of these self-hosted options best suits your needs. These methods offer a high level of customization and are ideal for intermediate developers.
