Installation
 | 
						|
============
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
*You're spoilt for choice*, choose your preferred method of installation.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- :ref:`installation docker`
 | 
						|
- :ref:`installation scripts`
 | 
						|
- :ref:`installation basic`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The :ref:`installation basic` is good enough for intranet usage and it is a
 | 
						|
excellent illustration of *how a searx 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.

						|

Installation scripts
 | 
						|
====================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. 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
 | 
						|
   $ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searx
 | 
						|
   $ cd searx
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: further read
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - :ref:`toolboxing`
 | 
						|
   - :ref:`update searx`
 | 
						|
   - :ref:`inspect searx`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Install** :ref:`searx service <searx.sh>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This installs searx as described in :ref:`installation basic`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   $ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install all
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Install** :ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   $ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh install all
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Install** :ref:`result proxy <morty.sh>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   $ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh install all
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If all services are running fine, you can add it to your HTTP server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Install** HTTP
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- :ref:`installation apache`
 | 
						|
- :ref:`installation nginx`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**Install** :ref:`external plugins <dev plugin>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Use searx's ``shell`` to install external plugins.  In the example below we
 | 
						|
install the searx plugins from **The Green Web Foundation** `[ref]
 | 
						|
<https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/searching-the-green-web-with-searx/>`__:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   $ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh shell
 | 
						|
   // exit with [CTRL-D]
 | 
						|
   (searx-pyenv) searx@ryzen:~$ pip install git+https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the :ref:`settings.yml` activate the ``plugins:`` section and add module
 | 
						|
``only_show_green_results`` from tgwf-searx-plugins.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   plugins:
 | 
						|
     - only_show_green_results
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _git stash: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. tip::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   About script's installation options have a look at chapter :ref:`toolboxing
 | 
						|
   setup`.  How to brand your instance see chapter :ref:`settings global`.  To
 | 
						|
   *stash* your instance's setup, `git stash`_ your clone's :origin:`.config.sh`
 | 
						|
   file .
