# Installation

Whatever system you’re on, you’ll first need to [install a Docker provider](<https://ddev.github.io/ddev/en/stable/users/install/docker-installation/index.md>), then [install DDEV](<https://ddev.github.io/ddev/en/stable/users/install/ddev-installation/index.md>), and optionally [configure your browser](<https://ddev.github.io/ddev/en/stable/users/install/configuring-browsers/index.md>).

For the best experience, consider [performance tuning](<https://ddev.github.io/ddev/en/stable/users/install/performance/index.md>) and [enabling shell completion](<https://ddev.github.io/ddev/en/stable/users/install/shell-completion/index.md>).
