Orion is actually a set of services, many of which are part of its underlying framework, Subsquid.
The description of each of those services can be found in the developer guide.
The easiest way to run the latest version of Orion locally is to use a joystream/orion docker image, which is automatically built and published to Docker Hub on each new Orion release.
You can find instructions on how to run Orion locally with Docker and test it together with Atlas in the Local testing tutorial.
To explore other ways of running Orion locally, which involve building the code from source, you can read Running local development instance tutorial from the developer guide.
To learn how to deploy Orion to production, please read the Deployment tutorial.
The process of upgrading a production instance of Orion in the event of a new release is described in the Upgrading tutorial.
