## Installation:
2017-11-23 07:48:55 +00:00
To manually compile invidious you need at least 2GB of RAM. If you have less you can setup SWAP to have a combined amount of 2 GB or use Docker instead.
After installation take a look at the [Post-install steps](#post-install-configuration).
### Automated installation:
2020-07-13 08:34:22 +00:00
[Invidious-Updater](https://github.com/tmiland/Invidious-Updater) is a self-contained script that can automatically install and update Invidious.
