+# Installation <a id="installation"></a>
+
+The preferred way of installing Icinga Web 2 is to use the official package repositories depending on which operating
+system and distribution you are running.
+
+Please follow the steps listed for your operating system. Packages for distributions other than the ones
+listed here may also be available. Please refer to [icinga.com/get-started/download](https://icinga.com/get-started/download/#community)
+for a full list of available community repositories.
+
+## Browser Support
+
+Icinga Web 2 and modules made by Icinga don't require a particular browser or set of browsers. The
+vendor of the browser in question doesn't matter much. However, the features a browser supports do.
+
+This generally applies to CSS and Javascript features. Since there a plethora of features in each
+category which Icinga Web 2 and modules may require, we will only mention the most prominent feature
+or sub-category here:
+
+* For CSS this is [the flexible box layout module](https://caniuse.com/flexbox)
+* For Javascript it is [the ECMAScript 2015 specification](https://caniuse.com/es6)
+
+If your desired browser and its version is showing up in green when visiting the respective link,
+it's probably okay to use it for Icinga Web 2.
+
+## Upgrade <a id="upgrade"></a>
+
+In case you are upgrading from an older version of Icinga Web 2
+please make sure to read the [upgrading](80-Upgrading.md#upgrading) section
+thoroughly.
+<!-- {% elif not from_source %} -->
+
+## Installation Requirements <a id="installation-requirements"></a>
+
+* [Icinga 2](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-2) and [Icinga DB](https://icinga.com/docs/icinga-db) to
+ monitor your infrastructure
+* A web server, e.g. Apache or Nginx
+* PHP version ≥ 7.2
+
+### Optional Requirements
+
+* The [pdfexport](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-pdfexport) module (≥0.10) is required for the
+ export to PDF
+* LDAP PHP library when using Active Directory or LDAP for authentication
+
+## Add Icinga Package Repository <a id="add-icinga-package-repository"></a>
+
+You need to add the Icinga repository to your package management configuration for installing Icinga Web 2.
+If you've already configured your OS to use the Icinga repository for installing Icinga 2, you may skip this step.
+
+<!-- {% if debian %} -->

+```
+
+The packages for CentOS depend on other packages which are distributed
+as part of the [EPEL repository](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).
+
+CentOS 7:
+
+```bash
+yum install epel-release
+```
+
+Since Icinga Web v2.5 we also require a **newer PHP version** than what is available
+in RedHat itself. You need to enable the SCL repository, so that the dependencies
+can pull in the newer PHP.
+
+```bash
+yum install centos-release-scl
+```
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+<!-- {% if rhel %} -->

+wget https://packages.icinga.com/subscription/rhel/ICINGA-release.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ICINGA-release.repo
+```
+
+If you are using RHEL you need to additionally enable the `optional` and `codeready-builder`
+repository before installing the [EPEL rpm package](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F).
+
+#### RHEL 8
+
+```bash

+wget https://packages.icinga.com/subscription/amazon/ICINGA-release.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ICINGA-release.repo
+```
+
+You need to install and enable the `amazon-linux-extras` repository to meet the requirements of
+Icinga Web 2 on Amazon Linux 2:
+
+```bash
+yum install -y amazon-linux-extras
+
+amazon-linux-extras enable php8.0
+```
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+## Install Icinga Web 2 <a id="install-icingaweb2"></a>
+
+You can install Icinga Web 2 by using your distribution's package manager to install the `icingaweb2` package.
+The additional package `icingacli` is necessary to follow further steps in this guide.
+
+<!-- {% if debian %} -->
+<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
+#### Debian
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+```bash
+apt-get install icingaweb2 icingacli

+<!-- {% if ubuntu %} -->
+<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
+#### Ubuntu
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+```bash
+apt-get install icingaweb2 libapache2-mod-php icingacli
+```
+
+The additional package `libapache2-mod-php` is necessary on Ubuntu to automatically
+install a web server and PHP and make Icinga Web 2 work out-of-the-box.
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+<!-- {% if centos or rhel or amazon_linux %} -->
+!!! tip
+
+ If you have [SELinux](90-SELinux.md) enabled, the package `icingaweb2-selinux` is also required.
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+<!-- {% if centos %} -->
+<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
+#### CentOS
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+```

+```
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+## Install the Web Server <a id="install-the-web-server"></a>
+
+Ensure that you have a web server with PHP installed before proceeding,
+such as Apache or Nginx with PHP version ≥ 7.2. Depending on your operating system,
+you may need to install and configure the web server separately.
+An Apache configuration file to serve Icinga Web is already installed.
+If you want to use Nginx, you must manually create a configuration file using the following command.
+Save the output as a new file in the web server configuration directory:
+
+```bash
+icingacli setup config webserver nginx --document-root /usr/share/icingaweb2/public
+```
+
+## Prepare Web Setup <a id="prepare-web-setup-from-package"></a>
+
+You can set up Icinga Web 2 quickly and easily with the Icinga Web 2 setup wizard which is available the first time
+you visit Icinga Web 2 in your browser. When using the web setup you are required to authenticate using a token.
+In order to generate a token use the `icingacli`:
+
+```bash
+icingacli setup token create
+```
+
+In case you do not remember the token you can show it using the `icingacli`:
+
+```bash
+icingacli setup token show
+```
+
+<!-- {% if debian or ubuntu %} -->
+You need to manually create a database and a database user prior to starting the web wizard.
+This is due to local security restrictions whereas the web wizard cannot create a database/user through
+a local unix domain socket.
+
+```bash
+MariaDB [mysql]> CREATE DATABASE icingaweb2;
+
+MariaDB [mysql]> GRANT ALL ON icingaweb2.* TO icingaweb2@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'CHANGEME';
+```
+
+You may also create a separate administrative account with all privileges instead.
+
+!!! note
+
+ This is only required if you are using a local database as authentication type.
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+### Start Web Setup <a id="start-web-setup-from-package"></a>
+
+Finally visit Icinga Web 2 in your browser to access the setup wizard and complete the installation:
+`/icingaweb2/setup`.
+
+<!-- {% if debian or ubuntu %} -->
+!!! hint
+
+ Use the same database, user and password details created above when asked.
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+The setup wizard automatically detects the required packages. In case one of them is missing,
+e.g. a PHP module, please install the package, restart your webserver and reload the setup page.
+
+<!-- {% if sles %} -->
+!!! note
+
+ If you're using php-fpm on SLES 15 SP2 onwards, `/etc/icingaweb2` may not be writable.
+ That's because the default systemd unit file for php-fpm has `ProtectSystem=full`
+ enabled. You want to lookup/add the systemd setting `ReadWritePaths=` in this case and
+ add `/etc/icingaweb2` to it. Alternatively you can also define a different configuration
+ directory using the environment variable `ICINGAWEB_CONFIGDIR`.
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+<!-- {% if centos or rhel or amazon_linux %} -->
+!!! note
+
+ If you have SELinux enabled, please ensure to either have the selinux package for Icinga Web 2 installed, or disable it.
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+<!-- {% else %} --><!-- {# end from_source elif #} -->
+<!-- {% if not icingaDocs %} -->
+## Installing Icinga Web 2 from Source <a id="installing-from-source"></a>
+<!-- {% endif %} -->
+
+Although the preferred way of installing Icinga Web 2 is to use packages, it is also possible to install Icinga Web 2
+directly from source.
+
+### Getting the Source <a id="getting-the-source"></a>
+
+First of all, you need to download the sources.
+
+Git clone:
+
+```bash
+cd /usr/share/
+git clone https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2.git icingaweb2
+```
+
+Tarball download (latest [release](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/releases/latest)):
+
+```bash
+cd /usr/share
+wget https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2/archive/v2.9.5.zip
+unzip v2.9.5.zip
+mv icingaweb2-2.9.5 icingaweb2
+```
+
+### Installing Requirements from Source <a id="installing-from-source-requirements"></a>
+
+You will need to install certain dependencies depending on your setup:
+
+* [Icinga 2](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2) and [Icinga DB](https://github.com/Icinga/icingadb) to
+ monitor your infrastructure
+* A web server, e.g. Apache or Nginx
+* PHP version ≥ 7.2
+* [Icinga PHP Library (ipl)](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga-php-library) (≥ 0.13)
+* [Icinga PHP Thirdparty](https://github.com/Icinga/icinga-php-thirdparty) (≥ 0.12)
+* The following PHP modules must be installed: cURL, json, gettext, fileinfo, intl, dom, OpenSSL and xml
+* The [pdfexport](https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-pdfexport) module (≥0.10) is required for the
+ export to PDF
+* LDAP PHP library when using Active Directory or LDAP for authentication
+* MySQL or PostgreSQL PHP libraries
+
+The following example installs Apache2 as web server, MySQL as RDBMS and uses the PHP adapter for MySQL.
+Adopt the package requirements to your needs (e.g. adding ldap for authentication) and distribution.
+
+Example for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
+
+```bash
+yum install httpd mysql-server
+yum install php php-gd php-intl
+```
+
+The setup wizard will check the pre-requisites later on.
+
+
+### Installing Icinga Web 2 <a id="installing-from-source-example"></a>
+
+Choose a target directory and move Icinga Web 2 there.
+
+```bash
+mv icingaweb2 /usr/share/icingaweb2
+```
+
+### Configuring the Web Server <a id="configuring-web-server"></a>
+
+Use `icingacli` to generate web server configuration for either Apache or nginx.
+
+**Apache**:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup config webserver apache --document-root /usr/share/icingaweb2/public
+```
+
+**nginx**:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup config webserver nginx --document-root /usr/share/icingaweb2/public
+```
+
+Save the output as new file in your webserver's configuration directory.
+
+Example for Apache on RHEL or CentOS:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup config webserver apache --document-root /usr/share/icingaweb2/public > /etc/httpd/conf.d/icingaweb2.conf
+```
+
+Example for Apache on SUSE:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup config webserver apache --document-root /usr/share/icingaweb2/public > /etc/apache2/conf.d/icingaweb2.conf
+```
+
+Example for Apache on Debian Jessie:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup config webserver apache --document-root /usr/share/icingaweb2/public > /etc/apache2/conf-available/icingaweb2.conf
+a2enconf icingaweb2
+```
+
+Example for Apache on Alpine Linux:
+```bash
+icingacli setup config webserver apache --document-root /usr/share/webapps/icingaweb2/public > /etc/apache2/conf.d/icingaweb2.conf
+```
+### Preparing Icinga Web 2 Setup <a id="preparing-web-setup-from-source"></a>
+
+You can set up Icinga Web 2 quickly and easily with the Icinga Web 2 setup wizard which is available the first time
+you visit Icinga Web 2 in your browser. Please follow the steps listed below for preparing the web setup.
+
+Because both web and CLI must have access to configuration and logs, permissions will be managed using a special
+system group. The web server user and CLI user have to be added to this system group.
+
+Add the system group `icingaweb2` in the first place.
+
+**Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, SLES and OpenSUSE**:
+```bash
+groupadd -r icingaweb2
+```
+
+**Debian and Ubuntu**:
+```bash
+addgroup --system icingaweb2
+```
+
+Add your web server's user to the system group `icingaweb2`
+and restart the web server:
+
+**Fedora, RHEL and CentOS**:
+```bash
+usermod -a -G icingaweb2 apache
+service httpd restart
+```
+
+**SLES and OpenSUSE**:
+```bash
+usermod -A icingaweb2 wwwrun
+service apache2 restart
+```
+
+**Debian and Ubuntu**:
+```bash
+usermod -a -G icingaweb2 www-data
+service apache2 restart
+```
+
+**Alpine Linux**:
+```bash
+gpasswd -a apache icingaweb2
+rc-service apache2 restart
+```
+
+
+Use `icingacli` to create the configuration directory which defaults to **/etc/icingaweb2**:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup config directory
+```
+
+
+When using the web setup you are required to authenticate using a token. In order to generate a token use the
+`icingacli`:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup token create
+```
+
+In case you do not remember the token you can show it using the `icingacli`:
+```bash
+./bin/icingacli setup token show
+```
+
+### Icinga Web 2 Setup Wizard <a id="web-setup-from-source-wizard"></a>
+
+Finally visit Icinga Web 2 in your browser to access the setup wizard and complete the installation:
+`/icingaweb2/setup`.
+
+Paste the previously generated token and follow the steps on-screen. Then you are done here.
+
+If you prefer to set up the configuration manually, follow the
+[Icinga Web 2 Manual Configuration instructions](20-Advanced-Topics.md#web-setup-manual-from-source-config)
