Installation
============
*You're spoilt for choice*, choose your preferred method of installation.
- :ref:`installation docker`
- :ref:`installation scripts`
- :ref:`installation basic`
The :ref:`installation basic` is good enough for intranet usage and it is a
excellent illustration of *how a searx instance is build up*. If you place your
instance public to the internet you should really consider to install a
:ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>` and for privacy a :ref:`result proxy
<morty.sh>` is mandatory.
Therefore, if you do not have any special preferences, its recommend to use the
:ref:`installation docker` or the `Installation scripts`_ from our :ref:`tooling
box <toolboxing>` as described below.
.. _installation scripts:
Installation scripts
====================
.. sidebar:: Update OS first!
To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing searx.
The following will install a setup as shown in :ref:`architecture`. First you
need to get a clone. The clone is only needed for the installation procedure
and some maintenance tasks (alternatively you can create your own fork).
For the installation procedure, use a *sudoer* login to run the scripts. If you
install from ``root``, take into account that the scripts are creating a
``searx``, a ``filtron`` and a ``morty`` user. In the installation procedure
these new created users do need read access to the clone of searx, which is not
the case if you clone into a folder below ``/root``.
.. code:: bash
$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searx
$ cd searx
.. sidebar:: further read
- :ref:`toolboxing`
- :ref:`update searx`
- :ref:`inspect searx`
**Install** :ref:`searx service <searx.sh>`
This installs searx as described in :ref:`installation basic`.
.. code:: bash
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install all
**Install** :ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>`
.. code:: bash
$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh install all
**Install** :ref:`result proxy <morty.sh>`
.. code:: bash
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh install all
If all services are running fine, you can add it to your HTTP server:
**Install** HTTP
- :ref:`installation apache`
- :ref:`installation nginx`
**Install** :ref:`external plugins <dev plugin>`
Use searx's ``shell`` to install external plugins. In the example below we
install the searx plugins from **The Green Web Foundation** `[ref]
<https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/searching-the-green-web-with-searx/>`__:
.. code:: bash
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh shell
// exit with [CTRL-D]
(searx-pyenv) searx@ryzen:~$ pip install git+https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins
In the :ref:`settings.yml` activate the ``plugins:`` section and add module
``only_show_green_results`` from tgwf-searx-plugins.
.. code:: yaml
plugins:
- only_show_green_results
.. _git stash: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash
.. tip::
About script's installation options have a look at chapter :ref:`toolboxing
setup`. How to brand your instance see chapter :ref:`settings global`. To
*stash* your instance's setup, `git stash`_ your clone's :origin:`.config.sh`
