# One-step installation
:::caution
This method is for evaluation purposes only. It is not recommended for production use. For production usage, please refer to the recommneded installation method [here](/docs/installation/recommended-installation).
:::
In the shell, from the 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/blob/main/docker/docker-compose.yml), and the [.env](https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/docker/.env.example) file from the main branch of the [repository](https://github.com/immich-app/immich).
2. Populate the `.env` file with necessary information based on the current directory path.
3. Start the containers.
The web application will be available at `http://<machine-ip-address>:2283`, and the server URL for the mobile app will be `http://<machine-ip-address>:2283/api`
The directory which is used to store the backup file is `./immich-app/immich-data` relative to the current directory.

# Portainer
Install Immich using Portainer's Stack feature.
1. Go to "**Stacks**" in the left sidebar.
2. Click on "**Add stack**".
3. Give the stack a name (i.e. Immich), and select "**Web Editor**" as the build method.
4. Copy the content of the `docker-compose.yml` file from the [GitHub repository](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/immich-app/immich/main/docker/docker-compose.yml)
5. Replace `.env` with `.stack.env` for all containers that need to use environment variables in the web editor.
<img
src={require('./img/dot-env.png').default}
width="50%"
style={{border: '1px solid #ddd'}}
alt="Dot Env Example"
/>
8. Click on "**Advanced Mode**" in the **Environment Variables** section.
<img
src={require('./img/env-1.png').default}
width="50%"
style={{border: '1px solid #ddd'}}

<img
src={require('./img/env-2.png').default}
width="50%"
style={{border: '1px solid #ddd'}}
alt="Dot Env Example"
/>
* Populate custom database information if necessary.
* Populate `UPLOAD_LOCATION` as prefered location for storing backup assets.
* Populate a secret value for `JWT_SECRET`, you can use the command below to generate a secured key
```bash title="Generate secure JWT_SECRET key"
openssl rand -base64 128
```
11. Click on "**Deploy the stack**".
