# Installation

Nextcloud Office is built on Collabora Online which requires a dedicated service running next to the Nextcloud webserver stack. There are several ways to run the coolwsd service.

- **Nextcloud All In One:** Nextcloud Office comes preinstalled out of the box in the [Nextcloud All In One](https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one) setup and provides easy deployment and maintenance with most features included in this one Nextcloud instance.

For manual installations there are multiple options to get Nextcloud Office deployed:

- **Installation through distribution packages**  
  There are packages for all major Linux distributions available which allow deploying a Collabora Online server through installing it through the regular package management. For an example installation guide on Ubuntu, see: [Installation example on Ubuntu 24.04](/link/1051)

- **Built-in CODE server**  
  This app provides a built-in server with all of the document editing features of Collabora Online. Easy to install, for personal use or for small teams. A bit slower than a standalone server and without the advanced scalability features. Installation can be performed by enabling the according Nextcloud app. Further details can be found in the [app documentation](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/richdocumentscode).

  > **提示**
  >
  > This is the default option which works out of the box in most scenarios, however for improved performance it is highly recommended to switch to a dedicated Collabora Online installation using one of the other options.

> **提示**
>
> In most scenarios running a dedicated Collabora Online server will require some sort of reverse proxy to be setup in front of it. For more details see [Reverse proxy](/link/1053).
