Install Bitbucket Server using an installerThis option uses an installer, and is the most straightforward way to get your production site up and running on a Windows or Linux server.
Install Bitbucket Server from a zip or archive fileThis option requires you to manually install files and configure some system properties. It gives you the most control over the install process. Use this option if there isn't an installer for your operating system.
Run Bitbucket Server in a Docker container

This option gets Bitbucket Server up and running in no time using a preconfigured Docker image.

Atlassian supports running Bitbucket Server in a Docker container, but we cannot offer support for problems which are related to the environment itself.

Note:
 we do not support installing Bitbucket Server as a production system on macOS.  A macOS download is available for the purposes of evaluating Bitbucket Server only.  There are no limitations to using Bitbucket Server on a Mac with any one of the supported browsers.
