## Chapter 3. Installation

## Background

There are two different ways to install Cedar Backup. The easiest way is to install the pre-built Debian packages. This method is painless and ensures that all of the correct dependencies are available, etc.

If you are running a Linux distribution other than Debian or you are running some other platform like FreeBSD or Mac OS X, then you must use the Python source distribution to install Cedar Backup. When using this method, you need to manage all of the dependencies yourself.
