+# General Installation Instructions
+
+These instructions are intended as general guidelines for installing FreshRSS. You may wish to consult the [Step-by-step Tutorial for installing FreshRSS on Debian 9/Ubuntu 16.04](06_LinuxInstall.md) if you don't currently have a web server and don't have experience setting one up.
+
+Before you begin, make sure that you've read the [prerequisites](02_Prerequisites.md) for running FreshRSS. As shorthand, `.` refers to the directory to which your FreshRSS installation lives.
+
+1. If the computer you're running on is not currently running a web server, you'll first need to install and configure a web server, a version of PHP, and an appropriate database, as listed in the prerequisites. [Example Apache and Nginx configuration files can be found here](10_ServerConfig.md).
+
+2. Download your chosen version of FreshRSS, or fetch it via git. It's advisable that you put FreshRSS in `/usr/share/`, and symlink the `./p/` folder to the root of your web server.[^1]
+
+3. Give ownership of the FreshRSS folder to your web server user (often `www-data`). Give group read permissions to all files in `.`[^2], and group write permissions to `./data/`.
+
+4. Install needed PHP modules.
+
+5. Create a database for FreshRSS to use. Note the username and password for this database, as it will be needed during installation!
+
+6. Using your supported web browser of choice, navigate to the address you've installed your server to complete the installation from the GUI.[^3]
+
+[^1]: Make sure to expose only the `./p/` folder to the Web, as the other directories contain personal and sensitive data.
+
+[^2]: If you wish to allow updates from the web interface, also give group write permissions to this folder.
+
+[^3]: Assuming your server is `http://example.net`, this address could be `http://example.net/p/` if you didn't follow our previous advice about not exposing the `./p/` folder.
