To simplify installation and maintenance of a searx instance you can use the
script :origin:`utils/searx.sh`.

Install
=======

In most cases you will install searx simply by running the command:

.. code::  bash

   sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install all

The script adds a ``${SERVICE_USER}`` (default:``searx``) and installs searx
into this user account.  The installation is described in chapter
:ref:`installation basic`.
