# 1. Download the Toolkit

## Downloading the Toolkit <a href="#downloading-the-versions-toolkit-short" id="downloading-the-versions-toolkit-short"></a>

The Toolkit is compatible with both the Server CE and Server Pro and is the recommend installation method. Using the Toolkit will allow you to easily get started with Server CE and seamlessly upgrade to Server Pro if required.

To install the Toolkit you'll need to navigate to the intended installation path and then clone the Overleaf Toolkit GitHub repository using this command:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/overleaf/toolkit.git ./overleaf-toolkit
```

{% hint style="info" %}
To prevent any potential permissions issues we recommend installing the Toolkit in your users `$HOME` directory.
{% endhint %}

Wait for the cloning process to complete then let's switch into the newly created `overleaf-toolkit` directory:

```bash
cd ./overleaf-toolkit
```

## 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/installation/using-the-toolkit/1.-download-the-toolkit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
