# New Installation After reviewing the system prerequisites and preparing your environment, you can proceed with installing Nected. Based on your infrastructure setup and intended use, Nected supports two installation methods: * **Docker Compose** – For local development and testing * **Kubernetes (Helm)** – For production and staging environments * **Aws Marketplace** - For production level deployment * **Terraform -** For full-scale, infrastructure-as-code deployments on Azure This section provides links to detailed guides for both methods. ### Installation Methods | Method | Recommended For | Description | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Docker Compose** | Local testing, evaluation, development | Installs Nected on a single machine using Docker Compose. Ideal for quick setup, feature validation, and building rule logic. Not suitable for production. | | **Kubernetes** | Production, staging, distributed workloads | Installs Nected on a Kubernetes cluster using official Helm charts. Supports autoscaling, high availability, and full cloud-native integrations. | | **Amazon Marketplace** |

Enterprise production deployments requiring AWS compliance

| The Nected AWS Marketplace offering provides a one-click deployment solution that automatically provisions all necessary AWS infrastructure components and installs Nected on Amazon EKS using CloudFormation templates and Helm charts. | | **Terraform** | Enterprise-grade Azure deployments, teams requiring reproducible IaC workflows | Deploys the entire Nected stack on Microsoft Azure using Terraform. This method provisions networking, AKS, managed PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, DNS records, SSL, and all runtime services through versioned, declarative infrastructure code. | Each method includes step-by-step instructions, value file configurations, and service validation procedures. ### Continue Installation:
