InstallationOverview

Installation

Install SeqDesk with a guided flow first, then move to unattended deployment as your environment standards solidify.

Use the npm launcher (npm i -g seqdesk && seqdesk) as the supported install entry point. It downloads and runs the public shell installer internally, so operators normally do not need to call install.sh directly.
