Installation
::::::::::::

A few different options to install harp on your development machine exist. The most reliable installation method is to
use containers, as it ensures you have the very exact set of dependencies, including the system, that we battle tested.
It also have the advantage of not requiring a python enviroment, nor python knowledge.

For advanced users and fellow pythonistas, you can use pip. But maybe, you'll prefer containers too.

Once you're able to successfully run the proxy, you may want to head over to the
:doc:`Configuration </operate/configure/index>` section of the :doc:`/operate/index`.
