## Software
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
Immich requires [**Docker**](https://docs.docker.com/get-started/get-docker/) with the **Docker Compose plugin**:
- **Docker Engine**: This CLI variant is suitable for Linux servers (or Windows via WSL2).
- **Docker Desktop**: This GUI variant is suitable for Linux desktop (or Windows or macOS).
The Compose plugin will be installed by both Docker Engine and Desktop by following the linked installation guides; it can also be [separately installed](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
:::note
Immich requires the command `docker compose` - the similarly named `docker-compose` is [deprecated](https://docs.docker.com/compose/migrate/) and is no longer compatible with Immich.
