1. Download and install one of the following system packages from GitHub releases:

   • .deb (Debian, Ubuntu)
   • .rpm (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE)
   • .apk (Alpine)

2. Run Coder as a system service.

   # Optional) Set up an access URL
   sudo vim /etc/coder.d/coder.env
   
   # To systemd to start Coder now and on reboot
   sudo systemctl enable --now coder
   
   # View the logs to see Coder's URL and ensure a successful start
   journalctl -u coder.service -b

   Set CODER_ACCESS_URL to the external URL that users and workspaces will use to connect to Coder. This is not required if you are using the tunnel. Learn more about Coder's configuration options.

3. Visit the Coder URL in the logs to set up your first account, or use the CLI:

   coder login <access-url>

Restarting Coder

After updating Coder or applying configuration changes, restart the server:

sudo systemctl restart coder
