Installation Options
Install on AWS (Recommended)
Deploy Medplum on Amazon Web Services using our industrial-strength AWS CDK and CloudFormation templates. This deployment option, which we use for our own hosted service, provides enterprise-grade scalability with automated setup of VPCs, ECS clusters, load balancers, and other critical infrastructure components.
Install on Ubuntu
Deploy Medplum directly on Ubuntu servers using our official APT repository (apt.medplum.com). This production-ready configuration offers a streamlined installation process while maintaining full control over your infrastructure.
Install on GCP (Beta)
Deploy Medplum on Google Cloud Platform using our Terraform configurations. Validated for production use, this deployment option provides a robust foundation, but offers a less-automated setup and requires additional operational expertise.
Install on Azure (Beta)
Deploy Medplum on Azure using our Terraform configurations. Validated for production use, this deployment option provides a robust foundation, but offers a less-automated setup and requires additional operational expertise.
Install from Scratch
Learn how to build and deploy Medplum from source code on bare metal infrastructure. This option provides an in-depth understanding of Medplum's architecture and components, making it ideal for educational purposes or custom deployments.
