# Panel Installation

Before installing, check the [minimum requirements](/docs/panel/overview#minimum-requirements).

Choose your installation method:

::::tabs
=== Docker (Recommended)
See the [Docker Panel Installation](/docs/panel/installation/docker) guide. Runs the panel and its dependencies as containers, the recommended path for most deployments, and the only method that supports extensions out of the box.

=== APT / RPM / APK
See the [Package Manager Installation](/docs/panel/installation/pkgmanager) guide. Install directly from the Calagopus repository using APT (Debian/Ubuntu), RPM (RHEL/Fedora), or APK (Alpine). Note that this method does not support extensions.

=== Binary
See the [Binary Installation](/docs/panel/installation/binary) guide. Download and run the panel binary directly on Linux, macOS, or Windows. Note that this method does not support extensions.

=== TrueNAS SCALE
See the [TrueNAS SCALE Installation](/docs/panel/installation/truenas) guide. Install Calagopus directly from the TrueNAS Community Apps catalog, no manual Docker setup required. Includes Wings in the same container.

=== Unraid
See the [Unraid Installation](/docs/panel/installation/unraid) guide. Install Calagopus from a Community Applications template. Includes Wings in the same container.
