### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/fn/guide/installation) # Fn - Installation ## Installing Fn [Fn](https://github.com/fnproject/fn) can be run in its simplest form as a docker container: ``` docker run --name fnserver --rm -i -v $(pwd)/data:/app/data -v \ /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --privileged -p 8080:8080 \ --entrypoint ./fnserver fnproject/fnserver ``` For more advanced and robust install options see: [Operating FN](https://github.com/fnproject/fn/blob/master/docs/README.md#for-operators) ## Installing the Serverless Framework Next, install the Serverless Framework via [npm](https://npmjs.org) which was already installed when you installed Node.js. Open up a terminal and type `npm install -g serverless` to install Serverless. ```bash npm install -g serverless ``` Once the installation process is done you can verify that Serverless is installed successfully by running the following command in your terminal: ```bash serverless ``` To see which version of serverless you have installed run: ```bash serverless --version ```
