# Install — bare metal (apt/dnf + systemd)

Canonical docs: <https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/next/getting_started/installation/linux> · post-install <https://docs.crowdsec.net/docs/next/getting_started/post_installation/acquisition>

This is the operational layer over the canonical install. Follow the doc for the
exact repo line for your distro; the notes below are what the doc doesn't tell
you, for a 1.7.x Debian/Ubuntu box.
This is the operational layer over the canonical install. The notes below cover
native packages and systemd on Debian-like and RHEL-family systems.

## 1 — Add the repository and install

The canonical path is the packagecloud one-liner, which drops a signed apt/dnf
repo and installs the engine:
### Debian-like systems: the installer uses Packagecloud `any/any`

debian and rh-based.


For **every Debian-like installation** — Debian, Ubuntu, and all derivatives —
use the normal CrowdSec installation script. The script configures the
Packagecloud apt repository as **`any/any`**; users must not select a Debian or
Ubuntu codename or rewrite the generated source.

```bash
curl -s https://install.crowdsec.net | sudo sh
sudo apt-get install -y crowdsec
```

If repository provenance needs checking, confirm that the source created by the
installer contains `/any/ any main` and that apt selects it:

```bash
grep -R 'packagecloud.io/crowdsec/.*/any/ any main' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
apt-cache policy crowdsec
```

If that check shows `/debian/ <codename>` or `/ubuntu/ <codename>`, do not treat
it as the expected installer output; investigate the installer or stale source
file instead of documenting a manual codename substitution.

On RHEL-family systems, use the normal installer and dnf path:

```bash
curl -s https://install.crowdsec.net | sudo sh # adds the repo
sudo apt install crowdsec # or: sudo dnf install crowdsec
curl -s https://install.crowdsec.net | sudo sh
sudo dnf install crowdsec
```
