Learn about different ways to install and deploy NSO.
Choose this way if you want to install NSO on a system. Before proceeding with the installation, decide on the install type.
The installation of NSO comes in two variants:
Local Install
Local Install is used for development, lab, and evaluation purposes. It unpacks all the application components, including docs and examples. It can be used by the engineer to run multiple, unrelated, instances of NSO for different labs and demos on a single workstation.
System Install
System Install is used when installing NSO for a centralized, always-on, production-grade, system-wide deployment. It is configured as a system daemon that would start and end with the underlying operating system. The default users of admin and operator are not included and the file structure is more distributed.
All the NSO examples and README steps provided with the installation are based on and intended for Local Install only. Use Local Install for evaluation and development purposes only.
System Install should be used only for production deployment. For all other purposes, use the Local Install procedure.
Choose this way if you want to run NSO in a container, such as Docker. Visit the link below for more information.
