# Installation Overview
|
|
|
|
The installation instructions provided here are for a production installation of Snipe-IT. If you are a developer looking to contribute to Snipe-IT, please see the [Contributing](/contributing.html) page.
|
|
|
|
Once you have [downloaded Snipe-IT](downloading.html), you'll need to complete all of the steps in the installation section, in addition to configuring your server. That means you will now create an empty MySQL/MariaDB database, [customize your configuration files](configuration.html), [install the dependencies with composer](composer.html), and run the [command line utility](command-line.html), and then configure your web server.
|
|
|
|
Installation should take around twenty minutes or less, if nothing goes wrong, and if you're pretty familiar with web server configuration.
|
|
|
|
If this all looks too overwhelming for you, we do offer [affordable hosted solutions](http://snipeitapp.com/hosting/) for folks who want to use Snipe-IT but don't know how to run a web server, or don't have time to keep up with updates.
