# Installation
There are a few ways to install ActivityRelay. Follow one of the methods below, setup a reverse
proxy, and setup the relay to run via a supervisor. Example configs for caddy, nginx, and systemd
in `installation/`
## Pre-build Executables
All in one executables can be downloaded from `https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/relay/-/releases`
under the `Other` section of `Assets`. They don't require any extra setup and can be placed
anywhere. Run the setup wizard
./activityrelay setup
and start it up when done
./activityrelay run
## Pipx
Pipx uses pip and a custom venv implementation to automatically install modules into a Python
environment and is the recommended method. Install pipx if it isn't installed already. Check out
the [official pipx docs](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/installation/) for more in-depth instructions.
python3 -m pip install pipx
Now simply install ActivityRelay directly from git
pipx install git+https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/relay@0.2.4
Or from a cloned git repo.
pipx install .
Once finished, you can set up the relay via the setup command. It will ask a few questions to fill
out config options for your relay
~/.local/bin/activityrelay setup
Finally start it up with the run command.
~/.local/bin/activityrelay run
Note: Pipx requires python 3.7+. If your distro doesn't have a compatible version of python, it can
be installed via [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv).
## Pip
The instructions for installation via pip are very similar to pipx. Installation can be done from
git
python3 -m pip install git+https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/relay@0.2.4
or a cloned git repo.
python3 -m pip install .
Now run the configuration wizard
python3 -m relay setup
And start the relay when finished
python3 -m relay run
## Docker
Installation and management via Docker can be handled with the `docker.sh` script. To install
ActivityRelay, run the install command. Once the image is built and the container is created,
your will be asked to fill out some config options for your relay.
./docker.sh install
Finally start it up. It will be listening on TCP port 8080.
./docker.sh start
