# Installing Sherpa Orchestrator

The Orchestrator is a web application designed to operate in a Linux environment. It is compatible with most popular Linux distributions: Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, CentOS, AstraLinux, etc.

Installation options:

* on-premises;
* cloud deployment.

To install on-premises, it is necessary to issue an SSL certificate for the local domain name of the Orchestrator, which will ensure a secure connection between the Robots, Users, and the Orchestrator.

**Important!** *The SSL certificate must be created based on the company's root authority certificate, and the root certificate itself must be installed and accessible in the local certificate stores on the end-user and robot workstations.*

**Note:** *For detailed instructions on issuing an SSL certificate for the Orchestrator, please contact your company's SSL certificate administrator.*

## **Installing the Orchestrator On-Premises**

* using a Docker container

It is recommended to install the Orchestrator by deploying a Docker container (Docker 22+ is required). The command set may vary depending on the Linux distribution and system environment used.

* without a Docker container

If necessary, the Orchestrator can be installed without using a Docker container. The command set may vary depending on the Linux distribution and system environment used. Installation instructions are provided using the “Debian 11 Minimal” distribution as an example.

For the latest version of the installation instructions for the Orchestrator directly on the host system or for recommendations on installing the Orchestrator on other distributions, please contact technical support (<support@sherparpa.ru>).
