*How to install and run Erigon 3 on Linux or Mac OS*

There are 3 options for running Erigon 3, listed from easiest to most difficult installation:

* [Use pre-built binaries](https://docs.erigon.tech/erigon/v3.1/installation/linux/prebuilt): Download and run the latest stable release of Erigon. This is the easiest option and requires no additional dependencies.
* [Use Docker](https://docs.erigon.tech/erigon/v3.1/installation/docker): Run Erigon in a Docker container for isolation from the host system. This avoids dependencies but requires installing Docker.
* [Build Erigon from source](https://docs.erigon.tech/erigon/v3.1/installation/linux/build): Build the Erigon source code directly on your system. This is the most complex option and requires a working Go environment.
