How Do I Install Discourse?
If you want the easiest possible install:
Beginner Docker install guide for Digital Ocean
If you want a powerful, flexible install:
Advanced Docker install guide
The only officially supported installs of Discourse are the Docker based beginner and advanced installs, above. We regret that we cannot directly support any other methods of installation.
Alternately, you can try the unofficial Heroku install guide, the unofficial Ubuntu install guide, the BitNami Discourse Virtual Machine package or Cloud66.

Hardware
- Dual core CPU recommended

Software

- Redis 2.6+
- Ruby 1.9.3+ (we recommend 2.0.0-p353 or higher)
