# Manual Installation
-## Requirements on your server
+!!! info "Requirements on your server"
+ - Node.js 10.13 or higher
+ - Database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite, MSSQL)
+ The database must use charset `utf8`. This is typically the default in PostgreSQL and SQLite.
+ In MySQL and MariaDB UTF-8 might need to be set with `alter database <DBNAME> character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;`
+ Be aware of older MySQL and MariaDB versions which sometimes use shorter representations of UTF-8 than 4 bytes.
+ This can break if symbols with more bytes are used.
+ You can use `alter database <DBNAME> character set utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci` to be on the safe side.
+ - NPM (and its dependencies, [node-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation))
+ - [Yarn Classic](https://classic.yarnpkg.com) 1.22 or higher (Yarn 2 is currently not supported)
+ - Bash (for the setup script)
+ - For **building** the HedgeDoc frontend you need a machine with at least **2 GB** RAM.
+ - Starting with release 1.7 the release tarball includes the prebuilt frontend, so building it yourself is not necessary.

-## Instructions
-
-1. Check if you meet the [requirements at the top of this document](#requirements-on-your-server).
-2. Download a [release](https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/releases) tarball and extract it.
- Alternatively, you can use Git to clone the repository and checkout a release, e.g. with `git clone -b 1.7.2 https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc.git`.
-3. Enter the directory and type `bin/setup`, which will install the dependencies and create configs.
-4. Modify the file named `config.json` or configure HedgeDoc through environment variables which will overwrite the configs, see docs [here](../configuration.md).
-5. **If using the release tarball for 1.7.0 or newer, this step can be skipped.**
- Build the frontend bundle by `yarn run build` (use `yarn run dev` if you are in development)
-6. It is recommended to start your server manually once: `NODE_ENV=production yarn start`, this way it's easier to see warnings or errors that might occur (leave out `NODE_ENV=production` for development).
+1. Check if you meet the [requirements at the top of this document](#manual-installation).
+2. Download the [latest release](https://hedgedoc.org/latest-release/) and extract it.
+ <small>Alternatively, you can use Git to clone the repository and checkout a release, e.g. with `git clone -b 1.7.2 https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc.git`.</small>
+3. Enter the directory and type `bin/setup`, which will install the dependencies and create example configs.
+4. Configure HedgeDoc: You can either use the `config.json` file or environment variables.
+ For details, have a look at [the configuration documentation](../configuration.md).
+5. *:octicons-light-bulb-16: If you used the release tarball for 1.7.0 or newer, this step can be skipped.*
+ Build the frontend bundle by running `yarn run build`.
+6. It is recommended to start your server manually once:
+ ```shell
+ NODE_ENV=production yarn start
+ ```
+ This way it's easier to see warnings or errors that might occur.
+ <small>You can leave out `NODE_ENV=production` for development.</small>
7. Run the server as you like (node, forever, pm2, SystemD, Init-Scripts)
-## How to upgrade your installation
+## Upgrading
+
+!!! warning
+ Before you upgrade, **always read the release notes**.
+ You can find them on our [releases page](https://hedgedoc.org/releases/).
If you are upgrading HedgeDoc from an older version, follow these steps:
-1. Check if you meet the [requirements at the top of this document](#requirements-on-your-server).
-2. Verify which version you were running before and take a look at [migrations and breaking changes](../guides/migrations-and-breaking-changes.md) to see if additional steps, or configuration changes are necessary!
-3. Fully stop your old HedgeDoc server.
-4. `git pull` or unzip a new release in the directory.
+1. Check if you still meet the [requirements at the top of this document](#requirements-on-your-server).
+2. Ensure you read the [release notes](https://hedgedoc.org/releases/) of all versions between your current version
+ and the latest release.
+2. Fully stop your old HedgeDoc server.
+3. [Download](https://hedgedoc.org/latest-release/) the new release and extract it over the old directory.
+ <small>If you use Git, you can check out the new tag with e.g. `git fetch origin && git checkout 1.7.2`</small>
5. Run `bin/setup`. This will take care of installing dependencies. It is safe to run on an existing installation.
-6. Build front-end bundle by `yarn run build` (use `yarn run dev` if you are in development).
-7. It is recommended to start your server manually once: `NODE_ENV=production yarn start`, this way it's easier to see warnings or errors that might occur (leave out `NODE_ENV=production` for development).

8. You can now restart the HedgeDoc server!
