<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="installation-searxng.html#installation-basic"><span class="std std-ref">Step by step installation</span></a> is an excellent illustration of <em>how a SearXNG
instance is build up</em> (see <a class="reference internal" href="architecture.html#architecture-uwsgi"><span class="std std-ref">uWSGI Setup</span></a>).  If you do not have any
special preferences, it’s recommended to use the <a class="reference internal" href="installation-docker.html#installation-docker"><span class="std std-ref">Docker Container</span></a> or the
<a class="reference internal" href="installation-scripts.html#installation-scripts"><span class="std std-ref">Installation Script</span></a>.</p>
