# Requirements
Make sure you read this section thoroughly before proceeding with any installation of Overleaf.
## 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.overleaf.com/on-premises/getting-started/requirements.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
