Introduction

We offer two ways to use PrizmDoc Server:

• Docker - We recommend using our Docker solution over any specific Linux platform to simplify your PrizmDoc Viewer deployment and maintenance.
• Traditional Linux Platform - If you prefer to use a non-Docker method, this section provides information about the system requirements for PrizmDoc Server when using the PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted installation.

NOTE: PrizmDoc Viewer is only supported on 64-bit operating systems.
