Installation
==================

As of this writing, you have a choice of two DZGUI versions:

- DZGUI 6: Legacy stable version, more complicated to install
- DZGUI 7: Unstable beta version, much easier to install

DZGUI 6
--------------------
This version is no longer receiving feature updates, but will receive security updates until it is replaced by DZGUI 7.

DZGUI 6 must be installed from the source code and has many more package dependencies and prerequisites for it to function correctly.
If you are looking for a one-click, self-contained installer, use :ref:`DZGUI 7` instead.

To install **DZGUI 6**, visit :doc:`dzgui6`.


DZGUI 7
--------------------
This version is currently in beta testing and has all of the features found in DZGUI 6, but may be unstable.

DZGUI 7 has an all-in-one installer and setup wizard, and many new features not found in DZGUI 6.
However, this codebase is newer and is provided as a pre-release beta candidate.

If you want the simplest installer and don't mind experiencing the occasional bug, use this version.

To install **DZGUI 7**, visit :doc:`dzgui7`.
