# Installation Guide

This guide walks you through a step-by-step process for installing DIGIT Core. Installation involves provisioning and configuring the hardware and network, installing core services such as PostgresDB, ElasticSearch, Apache Kafka, and DIGIT core services like API Gateway and User Service. We also set up a sample product built on the DIGIT core called Public Grievance Redressal (PGR). DIGIT Core can be installed on public clouds like AWS or Azure, or on Private Cloud. Installing DIGIT on personal computers is not recommended.

Follow the steps outlined in the sections below to install DIGIT.
