Installation instructions

eLabFTW should be installed on a server. This means it is not a software that you can download and install on your computer. It must be installed, configured and maintained by a Systems Administrator.

If you're not familiar with containerized services (Podman/Docker/K8s) and GNU/Linux server administration, we recommended our managed hosted solution. See our pricing on this page: eLabFTW hosted pricing.

If you want to install it yourself, head to the documentation.
