# 1. Download the Toolkit

### Downloading the Toolkit

You install Ayakaleaf Pro with the **Ayakaleaf Toolkit** ([ayaka-notes/toolkit](https://github.com/ayaka-notes/toolkit)), a set of scripts that runs Overleaf in Docker for you.

By default, the Toolkit starts the free official Overleaf Community Edition (CE). [4. Get Ayakaleaf Pro Images](https://ayakaleaf-pro.mintlify.site/on-premises/installation/using-docker-compose/linux/4.-get-overleaf-pro-images.md) switches it to Ayakaleaf Pro with one setting.

> You don't need to reinstall. Keep your installation and follow the last part of [4. Get Ayakaleaf Pro Images](https://ayakaleaf-pro.mintlify.site/on-premises/installation/using-docker-compose/linux/4.-get-overleaf-pro-images.md).

**1. Clone the Ayakaleaf Toolkit repository**

To install the toolkit you'll need to navigate to the intended installation path and then clone the Ayakaleaf Toolkit repository using this command:

```bash title="Clone repository" wrap theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/ayaka-notes/toolkit.git ./overleaf-toolkit
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> To prevent any potential permissions issues we recommend installing the Toolkit in your user's `$HOME` directory.

**2. Change into the toolkit directory**

Wait for the cloning process to complete then let's switch into the newly created `overleaf-toolkit` directory:

```bash title="Change directory" theme={null}
cd ./overleaf-toolkit
```
