Install Plone

First, choose a Plone user interface, or frontend. Read {doc}/conceptual-guides/choose-user-interface to help inform your choice between Volto and Classic UI.

Then choose one of the following installation methods.

If you are following a [Plone training](https://training.plone.org/), it should specify which option to choose.

{doc}create-project-cookieplone : This is the recommended way to install Plone with either Volto or Classic UI for a frontend.

{doc}/admin-guide/install-buildout : This is another way to install Plone with the Classic UI frontend, but not Volto. Using Buildout will be the most familiar way for admins who have experience with Plone 3, 4, or 5.

{doc}/admin-guide/install-pip : This is another way to install Plone with the Classic UI frontend, but not Volto. It provides a basic installation without many additional tools to help with development.

{doc}Install Plone as a contributor </contributing/index> : This option is for developers who want to contribute to Plone and its packages.
