# Installing SilverStripe
## Download
SilverStripe is a web application. This means that you will need to have a webserver and database meeting its
[requirements](server-requirements). We will take you through the setup of the server environment as well the application itself.
You can [download](http://silverstripe.org/download) SilverStripe as an archive or from [version control](from-source).
If you already have an installed version of SilverStripe, please see our [upgrading](upgrading) guide.
## Linux/Unix
* [Install using Apache](webserver) - our preferred platform
* [Install using Lighttpd](lighttpd) - fast, but a bit tricker to get going
* [Install using Nginx](nginx) - Super fast at serving static files. Great for large traffic sites.
## Windows
We recommend that you use the free [Microsoft Web Platform installer](windows-pi).
The more technically inclined can [install using IIS](windows-manual-iis) or [install using Apache/WAMP](windows-wamp).
## Mac OS X
Mac OS X comes with a built-in webserver, but you can also use MAMP [install using MAMP](mac-osx) or using MacPorts.
## Troubleshooting
If you run into trouble, see [common-problems](common-problems) or post to the
[SilverStripe forums](http://silverstripe.com/silverstripe-forum/).
