Open edX is a large complex system. We've tried to simplify the installation by providing a small number of options, prepackaged to varying degrees. All of them require some foundational skills:
- Comfort with your chosen operating system
- Using the command line to perform tasks
- Some ability to diagnose and solve problems with system software
The installation options are:
- Devstack: a Vagrant installation that is useful if you want to modify the Open edX code.
- Fullstack: a Vagrant installation that mimics a production environment.
- Native: Automated installation on an Ubuntu machine of your own.
- Manual: you are on your own, using our scripts as a guide.
(Notes, stuff to cover)
