# Installing from CLI
|
|
|
|
## 1. Confirm Minimum Requirements are Met
|
|
|
|
**The only requirements for Directus is an actively maintained version of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/).** Currently that is v10+, however in April 2021, node v10 will leave _Maintenance Long-Term Support (LTS)_ status, and node v12+ will become the new minimum requirement.
|
|
|
|
### Databases
|
|
|
|
Directus currently supports the following databases, with our minimum version being based on each vendor's official support/LTS.
|
|
|
|
| Database | Version |
|
|
| ------------- | ------- |
|
|
| PostgreSQL | 9.5+ |
|
|
| MySQL | 5.6 |
|
|
| SQLite | 3 |
|
|
| MS-SQL Server | 13.0+ |
|
|
| OracleDB | TBD |
|
|
| MariaDB | 10.1 |
|
|
|
|
::: Variants
|
|
In addition to the databases above, other variants are also supported, including **AWS Aurora** (MySQL), and **AWS Redshift** (PostgreSQL).

|
|
:::warning

|
Except for SQLite, the database must already be running before creating your Directus project.
|
|

|
|
|
## 3. Start your Project
