<pclass="subheadertext">Do this on a separate machine, not the laptop which will become your Freedombone server</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>1.</b> Install the <ahref="install_dat.html">dat command</a></p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>2.</b> Make sure you have the <ahref="install_xz.html">xz command</a> installed</p>

<pclass="doctext"><b>4.</b> Plug in a USB drive or connect an SSD which you'll use in the server, then find its device name, which usually begins with <b>/dev/sd</b></p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>5.</b> Now copy the extracted image to the USB drive or SSD. This may take quite a while</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>6.</b> Remove the USB drive or SSD and plug it into the laptop which will be your server</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>7.</b> Plug your laptop into one of the ethernet sockets on your internet router using a USB patch cable (cat5 or cat6)</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>8.</b> Power on the laptop and boot from the USB drive or SSD. You may need to change the BIOS settings so that it boots from this drive by default</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>9.</b> Ensure that <ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking">mDNS/zeroconf</a> is enabled on your internet router</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>10.</b> If <i>avahi</i> is not available on your laptop (not the Freedombone server) then make sure you install it</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>11.</b> Browse the local network with</p>
<pclass="clitext">
avahi-browse -at
</p>
<pclass="doctext">If eveything is working you should notice that a system called <i>freedombone</i> appears in the list, with a <i>http</i> service</p>
<pclass="doctext"><b>12.</b> Open a web browser which is <b>not</b> a Tor browser and navigate to <b>http://freedombone/admin</b>, or if that doesn't work then try <b>http://freedombone.local/admin</b></p>
<pclass="doctext">Congratulations! You are now ready to begin setting up the server and installing apps. You will need to have purchased a domain name, and have a dynamic DNS account or equivalent arrangement so that the server domain name is resolvable from the wider internet.</p>
