# Installation

> **Historical page (sr 6.x).** The GitHub wiki is a separate repository and is
> not updated by merging this branch, so this mirror is kept at its original path
> to avoid a 404. Current documentation: [README.md](../../README.md) and
> `sr help` (27 topics). The text below is unchanged.

> Professional installation guide for **sr-search-replace** across major platforms.
