# Database management
These guides provide instructions on how to install, maintain and upgrade Odoo databases.

{doc}`History of Versions <administration/supported_versions>`
:::
## Installation
Depending on the intended use case, there are multiple ways to install Odoo - or not install it at
all.
- {doc}`Online <administration/odoo_online>` is the easiest way to use Odoo in production or to try it.
- {doc}`Packaged installers <administration/on_premise/packages>` are suitable for testing Odoo and
developing modules. They can be used for long-term production with additional deployment and
maintenance work.
- {doc}`Source install <administration/on_premise/source>` provides greater flexibility, as it
allows, for example, running multiple Odoo versions on the same system. It is adequate to develop
modules and can be used as a base for production deployment.
- A [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/_/odoo/) base image is available for development or
deployment.

## Editions
There are two different editions.
**Odoo Community** is the free and open-source version of the software, licensed under the [GNU
LGPLv3](https://github.com/odoo/odoo/blob/master/LICENSE). It is the core upon which Odoo
Enterprise is built.
**Odoo Enterprise** is the shared source version of the software, giving access to more
functionalities, including functional support, upgrades, and hosting. [Pricing](https://www.odoo.com/pricing-plan) starts from one app free.
:::{tip}
{doc}`Switch from Community to Enterprise <administration/on_premise/community_to_enterprise>` at
any time (except for the source install).
