! This procedure only works on **Debian 10** machines <small>(with **kernel >= 3.12**)</small>)

Once you have access to a command line on your server (either directly or through SSH), you can install YunoHost by running command as root :

```bash
curl https://install.yunohost.org | bash
```

!!! If `curl` is not installed on your system, you might need to install it with `apt install curl`.  
!!! Otherwise, if the command does not do anything, you might want to `apt install ca-certificates`

Once the installation is finished, you may want to [**proceed to post-installation**](/postinstall)

!!! **Note for advanced users concerned with the `curl|bash` approach:**  
!!! If you strongly object to the `curl|bash` way (and similar commands) of installing software, consider reading ["Is curl|bash insecure?"](https://sandstorm.io/news/2015-09-24-is-curl-bash-insecure-pgp-verified-install) on Sandstom's blog, and possibly [this discussion on Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12766350).
