+
+# Installing and Deploying Ente Standalone (without Docker)
+
+## Running Museum (Ente's server) without Docker
+
+First, start by installing all the dependencies to get your machine ready for development. 
+
+```sh 
+# For MacOS
+brew tap homebrew/core 
+brew update 
+brew install go 
+
+# For Ubuntu based distros
+sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade 
+sudo apt install golang-go
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can also download the latest binaries from ['All Release'](https://go.dev/dl/) page from the official website. 
+
+```sh 
+brew install postgres@15 
+# Link the postgres keg 
+brew link postgresql@15 
+
+brew install libsodium 
+
+# For Ubuntu based distros 
+sudo apt install postgresql
+sudo apt install libsodium23 libsodium-dev 
+```
+
+The package `libsodium23` might be installed already in some cases.
+
+Installing pkg-config
+
+```sh 
+brew install pkg-config 
+
+# For Ubuntu based distros 
+sudo apt install pkg-config
+```
+
+## Starting Postgres 
+
+### With pg_ctl 
+
+```sh 
+pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l logfile start 
+```
+
+Dependeing on the Operating System type the path for postgres binary or configuration file might be different, please check if the command keeps failing for you. 
+
+Ideally, if you are on a Linux system with systemd as the init. You can also start postgres as a systemd service. After Installation execute the following commands: 
+
+```sh 
+sudo systemctl enable postgresql 
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl start postgresql
+```
+
+### Create user 
+
+```sh 
+createuser -s postgres
+```
+
+## Start Museum 
+
+```
+export ENTE_DB_USER=postgres 
+cd ente/server
+go run cmd/museum/main.go
+```
+
+For live reloads, install [air](https://github.com/air-verse/air#installation). Then you can just call air after declaring the required environment variables. For example,
+
+```
+ENTE_DB_USER=ente_user
+air
+```
+
+Once you are done with setting and running Museum, all you are left to do is run the web app and reverse_proxy it with a webserver. You can check the following resources for Deploying your web app. 
+
+1. [Hosting the Web App](https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/guides/web-app).
+2. [Running Ente Web app as a systemd Service](https://gist.github.com/mngshm/72e32bd483c2129621ed0d74412492fd)
