## ❓Why TriliumNext?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The original Trilium developer ([Zadam](https://github.com/zadam)) has
 | 
						|
graciously given the Trilium repository to the community project which resides
 | 
						|
at https://github.com/TriliumNext
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Migration von Zadam/Trilium?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are no special migration steps to migrate from a zadam/Trilium instance to
 | 
						|
a TriliumNext/Trilium instance. Simply [install
 | 
						|
TriliumNext/Trilium](#-installation) as usual and it will use your existing
 | 
						|
database.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Versions up to and including
 | 
						|
[v0.90.4](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/tag/v0.90.4) are
 | 
						|
compatible with the latest zadam/trilium version of
 | 
						|
[v0.63.7](https://github.com/zadam/trilium/releases/tag/v0.63.7). Any later
 | 
						|
versions of TriliumNext/Trilium have their sync versions incremented which
 | 
						|
prevents direct migration.
 | 
						|

## 🏗 Installation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Windows / MacOS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Download the binary release for your platform from the [latest release
 | 
						|
page](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/latest), unzip the package
 | 
						|
and run the `trilium` executable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Linux
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If your distribution is listed in the table below, use your distribution's
 | 
						|
package.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[](https://repology.org/project/triliumnext/versions)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You may also download the binary release for your platform from the [latest
 | 
						|
release page](https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/releases/latest), unzip the
 | 
						|
package and run the `trilium` executable.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
TriliumNext is also provided as a Flatpak, but not yet published on FlatHub.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Browser (any OS)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you use a server installation (see below), you can directly access the web
 | 
						|
interface (which is almost identical to the desktop app).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Currently only the latest versions of Chrome & Firefox are supported (and
 | 
						|
tested).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Mobile
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To use TriliumNext on a mobile device, you can use a mobile web browser to
 | 
						|
access the mobile interface of a server installation (see below).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See issue https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium/issues/4962 for more
 | 
						|
information on mobile app support.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you prefer a native Android app, you can use
 | 
						|
[TriliumDroid](https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/eu.fliegendewurst.triliumdroid).
 | 
						|
Report bugs and missing features at [their
 | 
						|
repository](https://github.com/FliegendeWurst/TriliumDroid). Note: It is best to
 | 
						|
disable automatic updates on your server installation (see below) when using
 | 
						|
TriliumDroid since the sync version must match between Trilium and TriliumDroid.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Server
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To install TriliumNext on your own server (including via Docker from
 | 
						|
[Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/triliumnext/trilium)) follow [the server
 | 
						|
installation docs](https://triliumnext.github.io/Docs/Wiki/server-installation).
