Installing the JFrog Platform
Install the full JFrog Platform using the recommended Helm chart on Kubernetes or Ansible for VMs. Includes Artifactory, Xray, Distribution, and all services in one deployment.
Quick Answer
If you have Kubernetes (including OpenShift), use the Platform Helm chart (Recommended). If you are deploying to bare-metal or VMs, use Ansible. Both paths install Artifactory, Xray, and Distribution in a single workflow.
