===================================
Preferred Linux Installation Method
===================================
Recommended Setup and Supported Platforms
-----------------------------------------
See the :doc:`../release_notes` for the recommended ownCloud setup and supported
platforms.
Installing ownCloud Enterprise Subscription
-------------------------------------------
See :doc:`../enterprise_installation/linux_installation` for instructions on
installing ownCloud Enterprise Subscription.
Downgrading Not Supported
-------------------------
Downgrading is not supported and risks corrupting your data! If you want to
revert to an older ownCloud version, install it from scratch and then restore
your data from backup. Before doing this, file a support ticket (if you have
paid support) or ask for help in the ownCloud forums to see if your issue can be
resolved without downgrading.
Supported Distribution Packages
-------------------------------
Installing ownCloud Server (the free community edition) on Linux from the
`openSUSE Build Service`_ packages is the
preferred method. These are maintained by ownCloud engineers, and you can use
your package manager to keep your ownCloud server up-to-date. Ready-to-use
packages are available at the ownCloud repository for a variety of Linux
distributions. Follow the instructions for your distro to add the oBS
repository, download and install the repository signing key, and install
ownCloud. Then run the Installation Wizard to complete your installation. (see
:doc:`installation_wizard`).
.. note:: Please don't move the folders provided by these packages after the installation.
This will break further updates.
If your distribution is not listed, your Linux distribution may maintain its own
ownCloud packages, or you may prefer to install from source code (see
:doc:`source_installation`).
