# Install Options

> Introduction to the different ways to install Activepieces

## Quick install

Run this where you want Activepieces to live. When it finishes, follow [Self host (Docker)](https://www.activepieces.com/docs/install/options/docker-compose.md) for the next steps: opening Activepieces, activating a license key, upgrading, and fixing problems.

```bash theme={null}
curl -fsSL https://get.activepieces.com | sh
```

Install Activepieces with an AI assistant

Install Activepieces on this machine by running `curl -fsSL https://get.activepieces.com | sh` from a folder I choose. It needs Docker Compose v2, so check `docker compose version` first and tell me if it is missing. If port 8080 is already in use, re-run with `--port` and a free port. When it finishes, confirm the stack is healthy with `docker compose -p activepieces ps` and `curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health`, then tell me the URL to open and remind me to back up the generated `.env` file.
