# Install script [Experimental]

:::caution
This method is experimental and not currently recommended for production use. For production, please refer to installing with [Docker Compose](/install/docker-compose.mdx).
:::

## Requirements

Follow the [requirements page](/install/requirements) to get started.

The install script only supports Linux operating systems and requires Docker to be already installed on the system.

## Steps

In the shell, from a directory of your choice, run the following command:

```bash
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/immich-app/immich/main/install.sh | bash
```

The script will perform the following actions:

1. Download [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml), and the [.env](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/example.env) file from the main branch of the [repository](https://github.com/immich-app/immich).
2. Start the containers.

The web application and mobile app will be available at `http://<machine-ip-address>:2283`

The directory which is used to store the library files is `./immich-app` relative to the current directory.
