# Installing Data Exchange Framework

You can install DEF as an [on-prem solution](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/def/90/data-exchange-framework/install-data-exchange-framework-on-prem.html "Install Data Exchange Framework on-prem") or as a [deployment to containers](https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/def/90/data-exchange-framework/installing-data-exchange-framework-on-containers.html "Installing Data Exchange Framework on containers").
