# Installation
GitLab can be installed in most GNU/Linux distributions and in a number
of cloud providers.
## Requirements
Before installing GitLab, make sure to check the [requirements documentation](requirements.md)
which includes useful information on the supported Operating Systems as well as
the hardware requirements.

This installation method uses the Omnibus GitLab package, using our official

If you need additional flexibility and resilience, we recommend deploying
GitLab as described in our [High Availability documentation](../administration/high_availability/README.md).
[**> Install GitLab using the Omnibus GitLab package.**](https://about.gitlab.com/install/)
### Alternative to Omnibus GitLab
If the GitLab Omnibus package is not available in your distribution, you can
choose between:
- [Installation from source](installation.md): Install GitLab from source.
Useful for unsupported systems like *BSD. For an overview of the directory
structure, read the [structure documentation](structure.md).
While the recommended database is PostgreSQL, we provide information to install
GitLab [using MySQL](database_mysql.md).
- [Docker](docker.md): Install Omnibus GitLab using Docker.

NOTE: **Kubernetes experience required:**
We recommend being familiar with Kubernetes before using it to deploy GitLab in
production. The methods for management, observability, and some concepts are
different than traditional deployments.
GitLab is committed to Kubernetes as a foundational technology. There are three
areas where Kubernetes intersects with GitLab:
1. Deploying your applications from GitLab projects to Kubernetes (e.g., see [Auto DevOps](../topics/autodevops/index.md)).
1. [Running GitLab CI/CD Runners in a Kubernetes Cluster](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/kubernetes.html).
1. Installing GitLab in Kubernetes.
While we recommend using GitLab for the first two points above, for most scenarios
we do not currently recommend installing GitLab in Kubernetes. There are a number
of trade-offs that you need to be aware of that may not be immediately obvious
and could prevent you getting the best experience from GitLab:
