# Getting started

CSMM can be installed on your own server in several ways. These methods are sorted from easy to hard.

WARNING

CSMM can be installed on Windows, but since I (Catalysm) do not use Windows, I cannot provide any official support for it. If you do want to install CSMM on Windows, be prepared for a lot of troubleshooting. It might be easier to install a Linux VM 😉
