# Setup and Deployment

> Source: https://docs.strapi.io/cms/setup-deployment

Strapi follows a three-step workflow: install on your local machine, configure the server and admin panel, then deploy to a remote environment like Strapi Cloud.

Strapi is meant to be installed on your local machine, then configured, and finally deployed to a remote environment. This documentation section describes these topics, and clicking on any of the following cards will lead you to the corresponding section:

- [Installation](installation): Install Strapi on your local machine with the command line interface (CLI) or create a Docker image.

- [Configuration](configurations): Configure the Strapi server, admin panel, and all the built-in features.

- [Deployment](deployment): Deploy Strapi to Strapi Cloud or other remote environments.

If you're just discovering Strapi, we encourage you to read the [Quick Start Guide](/cms/quick-start) as it not only presents how to install Strapi but also gives you a quick tour of the available features.
