Installing Coder

A single CLI (coder) is used for both the Coder server and the client.

We support two release channels: mainline and stable - read the Releases page to learn more about which best suits your team.

There are several ways to install Coder. Follow the steps on this page for a minimal installation of Coder, or for a step-by-step guide on how to install and configure your first Coder deployment, follow the quickstart guide.

Tip

If you're installing Coder for the first time, the Quickstart guides you through installing Coder and launching your first workspace.

Local/Individual Installs

This install guide is meant for individual developers, small teams, and/or open source community members setting up Coder locally or on a single server. It covers the light weight install for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Linux/macOS

Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

Refer to GitHub releases for alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).

Windows

If you plan to use the built-in PostgreSQL database, ensure that the Visual C++ Runtime is installed.

Use GitHub releases to download the Windows installer (.msi) or standalone binary (.exe).

Windows setup wizard

Alternatively, you can use the winget package manager to install Coder:

winget install Coder.Coder

Hosted/Enterprise Installs

This install guide is meant for IT Administrators, DevOps, and Platform Teams deploying Coder for an organization. It covers production-grade, multi-user installs on Kubernetes and other hosted platforms.

Starting the Coder Server

To start the Coder server:

coder server

Coder install

To log in to an existing Coder deployment:

coder login https://coder.example.com
