It is platform and architecture-agnostic, thus can be used to directly spin up instances of Umbrel without installing the [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os) since all orchestrated services use multi-architecture images.
We run it on Raspbery Pis (ARMv7) as a part of [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os), Ubuntu (x64) for [testnet.getumbrel.com](https://testnet.getumbrel.com) and macOS (x64) for local development.
If you are looking to run Umbrel on your hardware, you do not need to use this framework on it's own. Just download [Umbrel OS](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-os/releases) and you're good to go.
- [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/#install-using-pip) (installed via python3 pip)
- [Tor](https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en) (using default system paths)
Ensure that your account is [correctly permissioned to use docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/#manage-docker-as-a-non-root-user).
### Step 1. Run this from your home directory (if installing on dedicated hardware)
> It will clone this repo while preserving home directory's existing structure.
> Umbrel is still in early development and things are expected to break every now and then. We **DO NOT** recommend running it on the mainnet with real money just yet, unless you want to be really *#reckless*.
