# Discourse "Quick-and-Dirty" Install Guide
|
||
|
||
It is still early times for Discourse. From our 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.
|
||
|
||
Discourse has two fairly decent install documents now:
|
||
|
||
- Our [**official Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS install document**][1]
|
||
- [Unofficial Heroku install document][2]
|
||
|
||
Beyond that, if you are feeling extra *extra* adventurous you'll need some server hardware:
|
||
|
||
- Dual core CPU recommended
|
||
- 2 GB RAM recommended (1 GB can work, but you'll need swap..)
|
||
|
||
And you can try to set up following components manually on it:
|
||
|
||
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 a clockwork process for enqueing scheduled jobs
|
||
- Run several Rails processes, preferably behind a proxy like Nginx.
|
||

# Low memory installs
|
||
|
||
- Clockwork can run inside your web server, if you launch the your web server with EMBED_CLOCKWORK=1,
|
||
clockwork will run in a backgroud thread. As clockwork itself only performs scheduling, it will have
|
||
very little impact on performance
