3. Installation and Maintenance Guide
*************************************

Warning:

  This section, as is, is copied over from the mainline Bugzilla
  install documentation. There are significant changes in how Harmony
  should be deployed. As such, do not refer to this documentation for
  now, but use the Docker instructions as a guide. The Bugzilla team
  are revising this section.

Note:

  If you just want to *use* Bugzilla, you do not need to install it.
  None of this chapter is relevant to you. Ask your Bugzilla
  administrator for the URL to access it from your web browser. See
  the User Guide.

Bugzilla can be installed under Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and perhaps
other operating systems. However, if you are setting it up on a
dedicated machine and you have control of the operating system to use,
the Bugzilla team wholeheartedly recommends Linux as an extremely
versatile, stable, and robust operating system that provides an ideal
environment for Bugzilla. In that case, read the Quick Start
instructions.

If you wish to run a local evaluation instance of Bugzilla, see the
Docker instructions.
