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).
