# Installation & operations guide
|
|
|
|
This page summarizes the options for getting OpenProject, some hosted and some on-premise. With this information you should be able to decide what option is best for you. Find a full feature comparison [here](https://www.openproject.org/pricing/#features).
|
|
|
|
### On-premises
|
|
|
|
* **Community edition** - The free, no license, edition of OpenProject that you install on-premise. The additional features of the Enterprise edition are not included. See the "Installation" row of the table below.
|
|
* **Enterprise on-premise edition** - Builds on top of the Community edition: additional features, professional support, hosted on-premise with optional installation support. See more [on the website](https://www.openproject.org/enterprise-edition/), where you can apply for a free trial, or in the [documentation](../enterprise-guide/enterprise-on-premises-guide/).
|
|
|
|
### Hosted
|
|
|
|
* **Enterprise cloud edition** - Hosted by OpenProject in an EU Data Center, with premium features and professional support . See more on the [website](https://www.openproject.org/hosting/), where you can apply for a free trial, or in the [documentation](../enterprise-guide/enterprise-cloud-guide/).
|
|
|
|
* **Univention App Center** - Download the free Community edition as a pre-installed virtual environment and upgrade to the Enterprise edition with premium features and support. See the [documentation](installation/univention/) for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All editions can be enhanced by adding **[the BIM module](https://www.openproject.org/bim-project-management/)**, including features for construction project management, i.e. 3D model viewer, BCF management. See how to [switch to that edition](changing-to-bim-edition) in the documentation or how to start a [BIM cloud edition](https://start.openproject.com/go/bim).
|
|
|
|
Compare the features of these versions [on the website](https://www.openproject.org/pricing/#features). The Community edition can easily be upgraded to the Enterprise edition.
|
|
|
|
* **Development** - OpenProject is open source; if you want to help with the code, check the [development instructions](../development/) and install a [development environment.](../development/#additional-resources)

|
For production environments and when using a [supported distribution](system-requirements), we recommend using the [packaged installation](installation/packaged/). This will install OpenProject as a system dependency using your distribution's package manager, and provide updates in the same fashion that all other system packages do.
|
|
|
|
A [manual installation](installation/manual) option is also documented, but due to the large number of components involved and the rapid evolution of OpenProject, we cannot ensure that the procedure is either up-to-date or that it will correctly work on your machine. This means that manual installation is NOT recommended.
