# Get Started

Self-hosting the Literal AI platform is available as part of our **enterprise offering**. With this option, you will deploy the Docker image on your own infrastructure. The Docker image is available on a private registry, and you will need to [contact us](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdPVGqfuaWSC2DfunR6cY4C7kUHl0c2W7DnhzsF9bmMxrVpkg/viewform?usp=header) to discuss enterprise licensing and get access to the registry.

<Tip>If you are looking to try out the platform, you can use the [cloud hosted version](https://cloud.getliteral.ai/) for free!</Tip>

# Deploying the Image

You have several options for hosting the platform:

# Update the SDKs

By default, the Literal AI SDKs point to the cloud hosted version of the platform. To point the SDKs to your self-hosted platform you will have to update the `url` parameter in the SDK instantiation:

<CodeGroup>
  ```python Python theme={null}
  from literalai.client import LiteralClient

  MY_LITERAL_API_URL = "http://localhost:3000"

  literalai_client = LiteralClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", url=MY_LITERAL_API_URL)
  ```

  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  import { LiteralClient } from '@literalai/client';

  const MY_LITERAL_API_URL = "http://localhost:3000"

  const literalAiClient = new LiteralClient({
    apiKey: YOUR_API_KEY,
    apiUrl: MY_LITERAL_API_URL
  });
  ```
</CodeGroup>

# Update Chainlit

If you are using Chainlit, you will need to update the `LITERAL_API_URL` environment variable to point to your self-hosted platform.
