## Getting Started

A detailed getting started guide can be found at [umami.is/docs](https://umami.is/docs/).

---

## Installing from Source

### Requirements

- A server with Node.js version 18.18 or newer
- A database. Umami supports [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) (minimum v12.14) databases.

### Get the Source Code and Install Packages

```bash
git clone https://github.com/umami-software/umami.git
cd umami
pnpm install
```

### Configure Umami

Create an `.env` file with the following:

```bash
DATABASE_URL=connection-url
```

The connection URL format:

```bash
postgresql://username:mypassword@localhost:5432/mydb
```

### Build the Application

```bash
pnpm run build
```

_The build step will create tables in your database if you are installing for the first time. It will also create a login user with username **admin** and password **umami**._

### Start the Application

```bash
pnpm run start
```

_By default, this will launch the application on `http://localhost:3000`. You will need to either [proxy](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/web-server/reverse-proxy/) requests from your web server or change the [port](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-reference/cli#production) to serve the application directly._

---

## Installing with Docker

To build the Umami container and start up a Postgres database, run:

```bash
docker compose up -d
```

Alternatively, to pull just the Umami Docker image with PostgreSQL support:

```bash
docker pull docker.umami.is/umami-software/umami:postgresql-latest
```

---

## Getting Updates

To get the latest features, simply do a pull, install any new dependencies, and rebuild:

```bash
git pull
pnpm install
pnpm run build
```

To update the Docker image, simply pull the new images and rebuild:

```bash
docker compose pull
docker compose up --force-recreate -d
```
