You can use OTP releases or do a from-source installation. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it, it is easily administered via the provided shell script to open up a remote console, start/stop/restart the release, start in the background, send remote commands, and more. With from source installations you install Pleroma from source, meaning you have to install certain dependencies like Erlang+Elixir and compile Pleroma yourself. +There is multiple ways to install Pleroma. +<dl> +<dt>Distro-provided packages</dt><dd>This is the recommended method, where you can get the strongest compatibility guarantees and the best dependency-management</dd> +<dt>Pleroma-provided OTP binaries</dt><dd>Intended as fallback for Alpine/Debian-compatible systems lacking a proper Pleroma package, they are heavier than proper distro packages as they also contain Erlang/Elixir and can break after system updates</dd> +<dt>Manual from-source installation</dt><dd>Needs build-dependencies to be installed and manual updates+rebuilds.
