Get Started with the Self-Managed Installation

This Self-managed Installation guide explains how to install the JFrog Platform or individual products on different environments, including Linux, Windows, Docker, Kubernetes (Helm), and various Cloud platforms. Each product comes with a variety of installer options to suit your preferred method.

The following sections give you a high-level overview of installing and configuring the JFrog Platform or individual products. Each section is designed to guide you through specific aspects.

Use this page to choose the right first-time installation path for the JPD (self-managed). Pick one path and complete it end-to-end.

First-Time Installation Paths

I'm New To JFrog

Learn platform basics, run a quick evaluation install, and move to production planning

I'm Installing For Production

Follow a production-grade flow: method selection, planning, prerequisites, installation, verification, and post-installation

👍
Recommended Production Installation Method
Use the Platform Helm chart on Kubernetes (including OpenShift) for production deployments. It supports all core platform products, high availability patterns, and autoscaling. For method trade-offs, see Why Platform Helm Chart?.

📘
Considering A Standalone Product Install
Even if you start with one product (Artifactory, Xray, or Distribution), the full Platform flow via Helm chart or Ansible is easier to scale and operate.
If you have a specific use case for a standalone installation (Docker, Compose, RPM, Debian, or Archive), see Individual Product Installation .
