# 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.
