## Installation
See Installation guide for more information on installing LavinMQ. See the LavinMQ Operator for instructions on running the Kubernetes operator.
### Debian/Ubuntu
 [code] 
### Fedora
 [code] 
### Arch Linux
The package is available on AUR,
it depends on `gc-large-config` (that conflicts with `gc` package package), it
is the very same gc package found in Arch Linux but compiled with
`--enable-large-config`.
Then use systemctl to start/stop/enable/disable it, e.g. `systemctl start lavinmq`.
### macOS
You can install LavinMQ from Homebrew with `brew`:
 [code] 
### Docker
Docker images are published to Docker Hub.
Fetch and run the latest version with:
 [code] 
#### Docker Compose
Minimal example on how to run LavinMQ with Docker compose.
 [code] 
Start the container by running `docker compose up`
For an example on setting up a multi-node LavinMQ cluster with Docker Compose, see Setting up a LavinMQ cluster with Docker Compose
### Windows
For running LavinMQ on Windows, we recommend using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Install your preferred Linux distribution through WSL, then follow the installation instructions for that distribution above.
### From Source
Begin with installing Crystal. Refer to
Crystal's installation documentation
on how to install Crystal.
Clone the git repository and build the project.
 [code] 
## Using LavinMQ
### Getting Started
For a quick start guide on using LavinMQ, see the getting started documentation.
### Running LavinMQ
LavinMQ only requires one argument: a path to a data directory.
 [code] 
More configuration options can be viewed with `-h`,
and you can specify a configuration file too, see extras/lavinmq.ini
for an example, or see the section on config files in the documentation.
To run multiple LavinMQ instances on the same host, give each one its own
`--data-dir`, ports/binds and a unique `--control-unix-path` (the socket
`lavinmqctl` connects to, default `/tmp/lavinmqctl.sock`). `lavinmqctl` accepts
the same `--control-unix-path` flag (or the `LAVINMQCTL_CONTROL_UNIX_PATH`
environment variable) to reach a specific instance.
### Client Libraries
All AMQP client libraries work with LavinMQ, and there are AMQP client libraries for almost every platform. The LavinMQ website has guides for many common platforms:
- Ruby
- Node.js
- Java
- Python
- PHP
- Crystal
- Go
- .NET
## Performance
LavinMQ delivers exceptional throughput performance on commodity hardware. On a single c8g.large EC2 instance with GP3 EBS storage (XFS formatted), LavinMQ achieves:
**Throughput
