# Installation

Qtap can be deployed and managed either through the [Qplane](/getting-started/qplane.md) cloud control plane or locally via a YAML configuration file, depending on your operational preferences. This flexibility allows users to choose the setup that best suits their network and security requirements. The installation process is streamlined across multiple platforms with support for both binary and containerized deployments.
