# How Do I Install Discourse?
|
||
|
||
It is still early times for Discourse. From [our FAQ](http://www.discourse.org/faq/):
|
||
|
||
> Discourse is brand new. Discourse is early beta software, and likely to remain so for many months.
|
||
> Please experiment with it, play with it, give us feedback, submit pull requests – but any consideration
|
||
> of fully adopting Discourse is for people and organizations who are eager to live on the bleeding and broken edge.
|
||
|
||

### [**Click here for the OFFICIAL INSTALL GUIDE**][1]
|
||
|
||
Alternately, you can try the [unofficial Heroku install guide][2], the [BitNami Discourse Virtual Machine package][3] or [Cloud66][4].
|
||
|
||
## Quick and Dirty Install
|
||
|
||
### Hardware
|
||
|
||
- Dual core CPU recommended
|
||
- 2 GB RAM recommended (and 2 GB of swap space)
|
||
|
||
### Software
|
||
|
||
1. **Postgres 9.1+**
|
||
- Enable support for HSTORE
|
||
- Create a discourse database and seed it with a basic image
|
||
|
||
2. **Redis 2.6+**
|
||
|
||
3. **Ruby 1.9.3+** (we recommend 2.0.0-p195 or higher)
|
||
- Install all rubygems via bundler
|
||
- Edit database.yml and redis.yml and point them at your databases.
|
||
- Run `rake db:seed_fu` to add seed data
|
||
- Prepackage all assets using rake
|
||
- Run the Rails database migrations
|
||
- Run a sidekiq process for background jobs
|
||
- Run several Rails processes, preferably behind a proxy like Nginx.
|
||
|
||
### Low memory (less than 2 GB)
|
||
|
||
Remember you *will* need swap enabled (enough for a total of 4 GB, so 2 GB swap with 2 GB RAM, and 3 GB swap with 1 GB ram, etc) and working!
