# About Selfhosting PWA
So that clients can have a more native app-like experience on mobile, movie-web has a function to support Progessive Web Apps (PWA). You can learn more about what a PWA is [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/What_is_a_progressive_web_app).

## If you are running movie-web on a hoster such as Vercel
If your hosting is building movie-web from the source, you can enable PWAs using environment variables. The full environment variable reference can be found [here](../3.client/3.configuration.md) but for PWAs we are only interested in `VITE_PWA_ENABLED`.
Setting `VITE_PWA_ENABLED` to `true` will generate a [service worker file](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Making_PWAs_installable#service_worker) and a [web app manifest](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Making_PWAs_installable#the_web_app_manifest) which enable the website to be installed from a [web browser both on Desktop and on Mobile](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps/Guides/Making_PWAs_installable#installation_from_the_web).

## If you are running movie-web using the .zip files
If you are downloading the movie-web `zip` files from our GitHub and installing them on a static website hoster, then all you need to do is to make sure to download the [`movie-web.pwa.zip`](https://github.com/movie-web/movie-web/releases/latest/download/movie-web.pwa.zip) file instead of the `movie-web.zip` file!
