							   To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing SearXNG.
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							The following will install a setup as shown in :ref:`the reference architecture
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							<arch public>`.  First you need to get a clone of the repository.  The clone is only needed for
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							the installation procedure and some maintenance tasks.

 |

							Jump to a folder that is readable by *others* and start to clone SearXNG,
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							alternatively you can create your own fork and clone from there.

 |

							.. attention::
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							   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
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							   ``searxng`` user.  In the installation procedure this new created user does
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							   need read access to the cloned SearXNG repository, which is not the case if you clone
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							   it into a folder below ``/root``!

							When all services are installed and running fine, you can add SearXNG to your
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							HTTP server.  We do not have any preferences for the HTTP server, you can use
 | 
						
						
						
						
							 | 
							
							whatever you prefer.

 |
