# Introduction

This section explains how to install SonarQube Server on Kubernetes or Openshift (see also the [Helmchart documentation](https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/sonarqube/sonarqube#cpu-and-memory-settings)). It does not apply to the Data Center Edition. For the latter, see [introduction](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/10.8/setup-and-upgrade/deploy-on-kubernetes/dce/introduction "mention").
