## Requirements for installing Server Pro and Community Edition

{% hint style="warning" %}
We *strongly* recommend you run Server Pro on a recent version of Ubuntu, with a recent version of Docker. It's possible to run Server Pro on many other systems, but it will be much more difficult for us to offer support for systems that are far from the default Ubuntu/Docker setup. We also can't offer support for problems with Docker itself.
