 # FediBooks
+
 A web UI for creating your very own ebooks bots.
+
+# Selfhosting
+
+FediBooks is currently unfinished - many functions don't work yet, and future updates may make major, breaking changes. I don't recommend self-hosting it yet unless you're willing to work through the potential growing pains.
+
+1. Install ``python3`` and ``mariadb`` or ``mysql``. If you're installing on Windows, make sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during Python installation.
+
+2. Install the requirements, using ``pip``:
+
+```
+# pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt
+```
+
+If this doesn't work, try using ``pip`` instead. If it still doesn't work, you might have to install an additional package (for example, ``python-pip`` on Arch Linux).
+
+3. Copy the ``app/config.sample.json`` file to ``app/config.json``.
+
+4. Fill in the ``app/config.json`` file.
+
+5. Run ``python3 app/setup.py`` and follow the on-screen prompts.
+
+6. Open the MySQL prompt (using the ``mysql`` command) and type in the following commands:
+
+```
+CREATE DATABASE `fedibooks`;
+CREATE USER 'myuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
+GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'myuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
+GRANT ALL privileges ON `fedibooks`.* TO 'myuser'@localhost;
+FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+exit
+```
+
+where ``fedibooks`` is your database name, ``myuser`` is your database username and ``mypassword`` is your database user's password.
+
+7. Run
+
+```
+# mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASE < db/setup.sql
+```
+
+where USERNAME is your database username and DATABASE is your database name.
+
+8. Run ``./run.sh`` to start FediBooks.
