+# Install
+
+Caddy is available for every platform as a [static binary](https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/releases) (it has no dependencies). You can also [build from source](#build-from-source) to customize your build.
+
+
+## Official packages
+
+We maintain [official distributions](https://github.com/caddyserver/dist) for the following platforms:
+
+- **DigitalOcean**
+[Create a Caddy droplet](https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/caddy) and get started in 90 seconds.
+
+- **Fedora, RedHat, CentOS**
+Read how to [install the Caddy COPR](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/caddy/caddy/).
+
+- **Docker**
+[docker pull caddy/caddy](https://hub.docker.com/r/caddy/caddy)
+
+
+## Manually installing as a Linux service
+
+Requirements:
+
+- A `caddy` binary that you downloaded or built from source
+- Systemd version 232 or newer
+- Superuser rights
+
+Move the `caddy` binary into your `$PATH`, for example:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">sudo mv caddy /usr/bin/</code></pre>
+
+Test that it worked:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">caddy version</code></pre>
+
+Create a group named `caddy`:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">groupadd --system caddy</code></pre>
+
+Create a user named `caddy`, with a writeable home folder:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">useradd --system \
+	--gid caddy \
+	--create-home \
+	--home-dir /var/lib/caddy \
+	--shell /usr/sbin/nologin \
+	--comment "Caddy web server" \
+	caddy</code></pre>
+
+Next, take [this systemd unit file](https://github.com/caddyserver/dist/blob/master/init/caddy.service) and save it to `/etc/systemd/system/caddy.service`. Double-check the **ExecStart** and **ExecReload** directives---make sure the binary's location and command line arguments are correct for your installation.
+
+Double-check that both your systemd and Caddy configs are correct before continuing.
+
+To start the service for the first time, do the usual systemctl dance:
+
+<pre><code class="cmd"><span class="bash">sudo systemctl daemon-reload</span>
+<span class="bash">sudo systemctl enable caddy</span>
+<span class="bash">sudo systemctl start caddy</span></code></pre>
+
+Verify that it is running:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">systemctl status caddy</code></pre>
+
+When running with our official service file, Caddy's output will be redirected to `journalctl`:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">journalctl -u caddy</code></pre>
+
+To gracefully apply any changes to your config file (if using one):
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">sudo systemctl reload caddy</code></pre>
+
+You can stop the service with:
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">sudo systemctl stop caddy</code></pre>
+
+## Build from source
+
+Requirements:
+
+- [Go](https://golang.org/dl) 1.13 or newer
+- [Go modules](https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules) enabled
+
+Download the `v2` branch source code:
+
+<pre><code class="cmd bash">git clone -b v2 "https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy.git"</code></pre>
+
+Build:
+
+<pre><code class="cmd"><span class="bash">cd caddy/cmd/caddy/</span>
+<span class="bash">go build</span></code></pre>
