# Installation Guide
## IMPORTANT NOTE
**OpenSSL 3.x is NOT SUPPORTED. Use the version the installation guide points to.**
## Choosing a setup
There are several ways to install AzerothCore, you need to choose **ONE**.
### Full (supported, recommended)
These are the officially-supported and complete ways of installing AzerothCore, for any purposes.
- [Azerothcore Classic Setup (Windows, Linux, macOS)](#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.
- [Docker setup](install-with-docker.md) - a simplified installation process based on Docker.
- [AzerothCore Bash Dashboard setup](ac-dashboard-core-installation.md) - simplest way of installing AzerothCore, recommended for **Linux** and **Mac OS** systems for both local development and production. Currently not recommended for Windows.
### 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)
These guides are made by community members and might not be up-to-date:
- [Amazon Web Services](aws-tutorial.md)
- [Digital Ocean droplet](digital-ocean-video-tutorial.md)
- [ArchLinux](arch-linux.md)
- [FreeBSD](freebsd.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!*
