# Deploy

SingleStore can be deployed on bare metal, on virtual machines, or in the cloud by using SingleStore Tools, or via popular configuration management tools.

> **❗ Important**: When selecting a deployment option, please note the following:- An online deployment is where all of the hosts (A hardware or virtual machine which holds the aggregator and leaf nodes that comprise a SingleStore cluster.) that will comprise the SingleStore cluster can connect to the internet to download additional SingleStore software components. Offline deployment options are available with instructions for downloading and transferring these additional SingleStore software components before deploying SingleStore.
> - If you plan to deploy SingleStore using RPM or DEB packages, make sure you have adequate permissions to install packages on the target host.

Select the deployment guide that best fits your needs based on your target deployment environment.
