+# Dependencies
+We need to install dependencies:
+
+    curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+    echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
+    sudo apt-get update
+    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+    curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
+    sudo apt-get install -y nodejs ffmpeg postgresql-9.5 openssl nginx yarn g++ make
+
+# Database
+We need to create the database:
+
+    sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
+    sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_prod
+
+# User
+We need to create the peertube user:
+
+    sudo useradd -m -d /home/peertube -s /bin/bash -p peertube peertube
+
+And set its password:
+
+    sudo passwd peertube
+
+
+# Build PeerTube application
+Master branch is for production, develop branch is for... development.
+
+    sudo su - peertube
+    cd /home/peertube
+    git clone -b master https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube
+    cd PeerTube
+    yarn install
+    npm run build
+
+# Configuration files
+Copy the production configuration file template:
+
+    sudo su - peertube
+    cd /home/peertube/PeerTube/config/
+    cp production.yaml.example production.yaml
+    mv default.yaml default.yaml.bak
+    ln -s production.yaml default.yaml
+    vim production.yaml
+
+# Webserver
+
+Create the TLS certificate. (TODO: instructions to install using Let's Encrypt. For now, direct them to https://letsencrypt.org/)
+
+Copy the nginx configuration template:
+
+    sudo cp /home/peertube/PeerTube/support/nginx/peertube-https /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
+
+Modify the configuration file:
+
+    sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube
+
+Active the configuration file:
+
+    sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/peertube /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/peertube
+    sudo systemctl reload nginx
+
+# Systemd
+Copy the service file:
+
+    sudo cp /home/peertube/PeerTube/support/systemd/peertube.service /etc/systemd/system/
+
+Update the service file:
+
+    sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/peertube.service
+
+It should look like this: (Note what `Working Directory` is set to)
+
+    [Unit]
+    Description=PeerTube daemon
+
+    [Service]
+    Type=simple
+    Environment=NODE_ENV=production
+    User=peertube
+    Group=peertube
+    ExecStart=/usr/bin/npm start
+    WorkingDirectory=/home/peertube/PeerTube/
+    StandardOutput=syslog
+    StandardError=syslog
+    SyslogIdentifier=peertube
+    Restart=always
+
+    [Install]
+    WantedBy=multi-user.target
+
+Then tell systemd to reload its config:
+
+    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# Run PeerTube
+
+    sudo systemctl start peertube
+    sudo journalctl -feu peertube
+
+The output from starting peertube for the first time will include the credentials for your instance's administrative account, and this information will not be repeated.  Make note of it.
+
+    sudo systemctl enable peertube
