Self-Hosted
Self-Hosted libraries host their own data and are responsible for setting up and maintaining their installation and operations, including backups.
COMPanion will email you with instructions and links to important files for installing Alexandria. See our Self-Hosted Guide for Admins for instructions on installing on Windows or macOS, information on client and server communications, and guidelines for performing backups. Once installation is complete, look through our Getting Started Guide for Librarians for guidance on setting up preferences, importing patrons, adding items, and more.
