Installing Zango

Zango can be installed in two ways. Choose the one that best fits your workflow and environment.

Docker

Run the entire Zango stack — including PostgreSQL, Redis, and the app server — as Docker services. No separate service installation needed. Clone the repository, run one setup script, and you're up.

Python Virtual Environment

Install Zango inside a Python virtual environment. Ideal for developers who want direct control over their Python stack and prefer running services like PostgreSQL and Redis natively or via Docker containers.

What comes next

Whichever installation method you choose, the remaining steps are the same:

• Set up pre-requisites (PostgreSQL and Redis) — covered in Prerequisites.
• Create your first Zango project using the CLI.
• Launch your first app from the platform panel.
