# Set up a new Portainer Server installation

{% hint style="info" %}
These installation instructions apply to Portainer Business Edition (BE) only. Portainer Community Edition (CE) releases stopped at version 2.45 - for CE install instructions, refer to [the 2.45 documentation](/start/install-ce.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
A Kubernetes installation is recommended, as this allows for the use of features such as [Portainer add-ons](/3.0-sts/admin/add-ons.md).
