Installing, Configuring, and Running the Open edX Platform#
This guide provides instructions for using your own instance of the Open edX platform and associated applications.
The most recent Open edX release will be found on the Open edX Platform Release Notes. It is strongly recommended to use Tutor for both development and installation. It is also recommended to stay up-to-date with the latest Open edX release, as previous releases are unsupported by the community. See the Open edX Release Schedule for information on release dates and end-of-life support.
You can install any release of the Open edX platform, but note the community will likely be unable to answer questions about issues you encounter. Please be aware that older releases do not receive security fixes or any of the latest features, and documentation on docs.openedx.org will always reflect the latest release.
