# Installation

These are our recommendations for the different environments and purposes:

* To setup Consul Democracy for a production environment we recommend using the [installer](https://github.com/consuldemocracy/installer).
* For developers working on a Consul Democracy fork we recommend using a UNIX based system (Linux or Mac) and installing Consul Democracy [locally system wide](/tech_docs/introduction/local_installation.md).
* If you run into problems configuring Consul Democracy locally system wide and would like to show Consul Democracy for demo purposes we recommend using [Docker](/tech_docs/introduction/local_installation/docker.md) in a local machine.
* We also have a [Heroku guide](/tech_docs/introduction/servers/deploying-on-heroku.md) which can be used for demo purposes in a remote server.
