-# Manual Installation
-
-## Requirements on your server
-
-- Node.js 10.13 or up
-- 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
-- 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 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 1.7.0 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](https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc/blob/master/docs/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. Modify the file named `.sequelizerc`, change the value of the variable `url` to your db connection string. For example:
- - `postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/hedgedoc`
- - `mysql://username:password@localhost:3306/hedgedoc`
- - `sqlite:///opt/hedgedoc/hedgedoc.sqlite` (note that you need to use an absolute path to the SQLite file)
-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. Run the server as you like (node, forever, pm2, SystemD, Init-Scripts)
-
-## How to upgrade your installation
-
-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.
-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!
