# Deployment via "deb" packages This guide helps you to install *grouprise* on [Debian](https://debian.org/) or one of its derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu). If you do not want to use a Debian-based system or wish to install *grouprise* manually, then you should follow the [separate instructions for manual deployments](/deployment/source). We would also like to support Docker deployments, but we do not have enough knowledge in that specific domain and some reservations regarding security. However we will happily accept documentation proposals on this matter, so feel free to open a merge/pull request. ## Installation with apt You can install *grouprise* from our `deb` package repository. Execute the following lines as root on the server host: ```shell mkdir -p /etc/grouprise touch /etc/grouprise/apt-keyring.gpg wget -q -O - https://deb.grouprise.org/keys/repository.asc | gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/grouprise/apt-keyring.gpg --import echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/grouprise/apt-keyring.gpg] https://deb.grouprise.org/ unstable main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/grouprise.list apt update apt install grouprise grouprise-db-postgresql ``` You will be prompted for some details during the package installation procedure. ## Database Initialization and Configuration See [database initialization](/administration/database/initialization) for details. ## Configuration This is outlined in the separate [configuration documentation](/administration/configuration/index).
