## Installation

Appwrite backend server is designed to run in a container environment. Running your server is as easy as running one command from your terminal. You can run Appwrite on your localhost using docker-compose or on any other container orchestration tool like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm or Rancher.

The easiest way to start running your Appwrite server is by running our docker compose file:

```bash
mkdir appwrite-ce && \
cd appwrite-ce && \
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://appwrite.io/docker-compose.yml?port=80 && \
docker-compose up -d --remove-orphans
```


Once the Docker installation completes, go to http://localhost to access the Appwrite console from your browser. Please notice that on non-linux native hosts, the server might take a few minutes to start after installation completes.


For advanced, production and custom installation, check out our Docker [environment variables](/docs/EnviornementVariables.md) docs.

### Changing Port Number

In case your port 80 is already taken, change the port number in the command above. Make sure to set the correct endpoint in your selected SDK, including your new port number.
