+OpenPhoto / Installation for Ubuntu
+=======================
+#### OpenPhoto, a photo service for the masses
+
+## OS: Linux Ubuntu Server 10.04+
+
+This guide instructs you on how to install OpenPhoto on an Ubuntu server.
+
+----------------------------------------
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+#### Cloud Accounts
+
+Before setting up your server you'll need to make sure you have your cloud accounts set up. If you're using Amazon then make sure you've enabled both S3 and SimpleDb.
+
+* http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/
+* http://aws.amazon.com/s3/
+
+#### Server Packages and Modules
+Once you've confirmed that your cloud account is setup you can get started on your server. For that you'll need to have _Apache_, _PHP_ and _curl_ installed with a few modules.
+
+    apt-get install apache2
+    apt-get install php5
+    apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
+    apt-get install php5-curl
+    a2enmod rewrite
+
+There are also a few optional but recommended packages and modules.
+
+    apt-get install php5-imagick
+    apt-get install exiftran
+    a2enmod deflate
+    a2enmod expires
+    a2enmod headers
+
+----------------------------------------
+
+### Installing OpenPhoto
+
+Download and install the source code. We recommend `/var/www/yourdomain.com` but you can use any directory you'd like.
+
+#### Using git clone
+
+    apt-get install git-core
+    git clone https://github.com/openphoto/frontend.git /var/www/yourdomain.com
+    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/yourdomain.com
+
+#### Using tar
+
+    cd /var/www
+    wget https://github.com/openphoto/frontend/tarball/master -O openphoto.tar.gz
+    tar -zxvf --group=www-data --owner=www-data openphoto.tar.gz
+    mv openphoto-frontend-* yourdomain.com
+
+----------------------------------------
+
+### Setting up Apache and PHP
+
+#### Apache
+
+You'll need to copy the sample virtual host configuration file from the source to `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled`.
+
+    cp /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/openphoto-vhost.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/
+
+Now you'll need to replace instances of `/path/to/openphoto/html/directory` with `/var/www/yourdomain.com/src/html` or wherever you placed the code.
+
+    vi /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/openphoto-vhost.conf
+
+### PHP
+
+You should also verify that your `php.ini` file has a few important values set correctly.
+
+    vi /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
+
+Search for the following values and make sure they're correct.
+
+    file_uploads = On
+    upload_max_filesize = 16M
+    post_max_size = 16M
+
+Now you're ready to restart apache and visit the site in your browser.
+
+    /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
+
+### Launching your OpenPhoto site
+
+Now you're ready to launch your OpenPhoto site. Point your browser to your host and you'll be taken to a setup screen. You'll need your cloud account credentials to continue.
+
+Once you complete the 3 steps your site will be up and running and you'll be redirected there. The _setup_ screen won't show up anymore. If for any reason you want to go through the setup again you will need to delete the generated config file and refresh your browser.
+
+    rm /var/www/yourdomain.com/src/configs/generated/settings.ini
+
+**ENJOY!**
