# Install GitLab **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
You can install GitLab on most GNU/Linux distributions, on several
|
|
cloud providers, and in Kubernetes clusters.
|
|
|
|
To get the best experience, you should balance performance, reliability,
|
|
ease of administration (backups, upgrades, and troubleshooting) with the cost of hosting.
|
|
|
|
To get started, [choose your installation method](install_methods.md).
|
|
|
|
If you already have a running instance, learn how to [configure it](next_steps.md).
