# Multi-Architecture Installation (Git Clone)

This guide covers the secondary installation method for Figranium, which is suitable for all architectures (x86\_64, ARM64, etc.) by building the Docker image locally.

While the primary and recommended installation method is using the pre-built images from [GitHub Container Registry (GHCR)](/docs/docker-compose), this method provides a reliable fallback for environments where pre-built images might not be optimal or available.

## **Prerequisites**

* [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) installed.
* [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) installed and running.
* [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) installed.

## **Step-by-Step Installation**

### **1. Clone the Repository**

Clone the Figranium repository to your local machine:

```text theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/figranium/figranium.git
cd figranium
```

### **2. Build and Start with Docker Compose**

Run the following command to build the image locally and start the application in detached mode:

```text theme={null}
docker compose up --build -d
```

This command will:

1. Download the necessary base images.
2. Compile the Figranium source code and build the Docker image for your specific architecture.
3. Start the containers as defined in the `docker-compose.yml` file.

### **3. Access the Application**

Once the build is complete and the containers are running, open your browser and navigate to:

[http://localhost:11345](http://localhost:11345)

## **Updating the Installation**

To update your installation to the latest version, pull the latest changes from the repository and rebuild the image:

```text theme={null}
git pull
docker compose up --build -d
```

## **Comparison with GHCR (Primary Method)**

| **Feature**       | **GHCR (Primary)**                 | **Git Clone (Secondary)**     |
| :---------------- | :--------------------------------- | :---------------------------- |
| **Speed**         | Faster (Downloads pre-built image) | Slower (Builds image locally) |
| **Ease of Use**   | High (Single `docker-compose.yml`) | Medium (Requires `git clone`) |
| **Architecture**  | Supports common architectures      | Supports all architectures    |
| **Customization** | Limited to environment variables   | Full access to source code    |

We recommend using the [GHCR method](/docs/docker-compose) whenever possible, as it is faster and more streamlined. Use this Git Clone method if you encounter architecture-related issues or need to modify the source code.
