+# Discourse "Quick-and-Dirty" Install Guide
+
+We have deliberately left this section lacking. 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.
+
+When Discourse is ready for primetime we're going to provide several robust and easy ways to install it. 
+Until then, if you are feeling adventurous you can try to set up following components.
+
+- Postgres 9.1
+ - Enable support for HSTORE
+ - Create a discourse database and seed it with a basic image
+- Redis 2.6
+- Ruby 1.9.3
+ - Install all rubygems via bundler
+ - Edit database.yml and redis.yml and point them at your databases.
+ - 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.
