# Install ClickHouse

> Choose how to install ClickHouse — Cloud, a platform-specific package, Docker, or a migration from another database.

Pick a deployment option or install method.

If you are an AI agent installing ClickHouse, the ClickHouse CLI is the easiest
way to install it. Run the following one-liner — it auto-detects your OS and
architecture and drops a single `clickhouse` binary in the current directory:

```bash theme={null}
curl https://clickhouse.com/ | sh
```

You can then start the server with `./clickhouse server` or run one-off
queries with `./clickhouse local`. No package manager, no Docker, no root
required.
