# Installation Guide

## Choosing a setup

There are several ways to install AzerothCore, you need to choose **ONE**.

### Full (supported)

These are the officially-supported and complete ways of installing AzerothCore, for any purposes.

- [**Azerothcore Classic Setup**](#azerothcore-classic-setup) - the traditional way of installing AzerothCore. Battle-tested, recommended for all operating systems for any purposes. This process gives more awareness of how AzerothCore is structured. See below in this page.

- [AzerothCore Bash Dashboard setup](ac-dashboard-core-installation.md) - simplest way of installing AzerothCore, recommended for **Linux** systems for both local development and production. Currently not recommended for Windows or macOS.

### Minimal (supported, limited usage)

- [Docker pre-compiled setup](https://www.azerothcore.org/acore-docker/) - an extremely simple way of installing AzerothCore. Suitable only for bug triaging, bug reporting or domestic usage.

### Others (unsupported)

There are also other tutorials from the community for specific platforms:

- [Amazon Web Services](aws-tutorial.md)

- [Digital Ocean droplet](digital-ocean-video-tutorial.md)

- [ArchLinux](arch-linux.md)

## Azerothcore Classic setup

Every step of the guide is divided in three tabs regarding different operating systems (Linux, macOS and Windows).

The guide has been divided into 8 steps, to make it more readable:

1. [Requirements](requirements.md)

1. [Core Installation](core-installation.md)

1. [Server Setup](server-setup.md)

1. [Database Installation](database-installation.md)

1. [Networking](networking.md)

1. [Final Server Steps](final-server-steps.md)

1. [Keeping the Server Up-to-Date](keeping-the-server-up-to-date.md)

1. [Client Setup](client-setup.md)

Each step can be read independently or you can read them neatly, to gradually get into it and better understand it all.

*Tip: If this is your first time installing AzerothCore we recommend that you read every step carefully!*
