							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | The :ref:`installation basic` is good enough for intranet usage and it is a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | excellent illustration of *how a SearXNG instance is build up*.  If you place your
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | instance public to the internet you should really consider to install a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | :ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>` and for privacy a :ref:`result proxy
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | <morty.sh>` is mandatory.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Therefore, if you do not have any special preferences, its recommend to use the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | :ref:`installation docker` or the `Installation scripts`_ from our :ref:`tooling
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | box <toolboxing>` as described below.

							|  | .. sidebar:: Update OS first!
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing searx.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | The following will install a setup as shown in :ref:`architecture`.  First you
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | need to get a clone.  The clone is only needed for the installation procedure
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | and some maintenance tasks (alternatively you can create your own fork).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | For the installation procedure, use a *sudoer* login to run the scripts.  If you
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | install from ``root``, take into account that the scripts are creating a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``searx``, a ``filtron`` and a ``morty`` user.  In the installation procedure
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | these new created users do need read access to the clone of searx, which is not
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | the case if you clone into a folder below ``/root``.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. code:: bash
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    $ cd ~/Downloads
 |

 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    - :ref:`inspect searx`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | **Install** :ref:`SearXNG service <searx.sh>`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | This installs SearXNG as described in :ref:`installation basic`.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. code:: bash
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 |

 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | **Install** :ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. code:: bash
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    $ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh install all
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | **Install** :ref:`result proxy <morty.sh>`

							|  |    $ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh install all

							|  | **Install** :ref:`external plugins <dev plugin>`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Use SearXNG's ``shell`` to install external plugins.  In the example below we
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | install the SearXNG plugins from **The Green Web Foundation** `[ref]
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | <https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/searching-the-green-web-with-searx/>`__:

							|  | In the :ref:`settings.yml` activate the ``plugins:`` section and add module
