<p class="main-paragraph">You can start using Penpot right in your browser or installing it in a server of your own.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>In your browser</h2>
|
|
<p>To use Penpot online point your browser to <a href="https://design.penpot.app" target="_blank">design.penpot.app</a> and start designing. Use the latest Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for the best experience. We also provide specific support to WebKit (Safari / Epiphany).</p>
|
|
<p>You can also go to <a href="https://penpot.app" target="_blank">penpot.app</a> if you want to read more about Penpot and our new releases. There, click on the Signup button. You will be asked to create an account. We only ask for an email. There are some authentication providers available too.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>On your own server</h2>
|
|
<p>Currently, private Penpot instances only require basic Docker knowledge.</p>
|
|
<p>You can run your own Penpot server following the instructions at the <a href="/technical-guide/getting-started">Technical Guide</a></p>

<h3 id="check-for-updates">Check for updates</h3>
|
|
<p>To see if your installation is up to date, open your profile menu in the dashboard and go to <strong>About Penpot → Check for updates</strong>. If a newer version exists, Penpot shows your installed version, the latest one, and the highlights of each release you are missing, with links to the full changelog and the release notes.</p>
|
|
<p>The check runs from your browser and needs access to GitHub. It is hidden on installations configured as air-gapped.</p>
