## Chapter 3. Installation guide

Orchestra comes in two kinds of distribution:

- Tomcat distribution: Orchestra is embedded in a web application deployed in tomcat container. Note that this distribution embeds in latest versions the SOA console.

- Felix OSGI distribution: Orchestra is embedded in an OSGI bundle deployed in Felix OSGI platform. Note that this distribution doesn't embed the SOA console.
