+# Installing FixMyStreet Platform
+
+<p class="lead">
+ There are several options for installing the FixMyStreet platform. Unless
+ you're confident deploying web applications, we recommend you use the
+ installation script or the AMI for Amazon EC2.
+</p>
+
+## Four ways to install
+
+* [Use an install script for Debian or Ubuntu servers]({{ "/install/install-script/" | relative_url }})
+* [Use a FixMyStreet AMI for Amazon EC2]({{ "/install/ami/" | relative_url }})
+* [Vagrant installation]({{ "/install/vagrant/" | relative_url }}), for development
+* [Install the software manually]({{ "/install/manual-install/" | relative_url }})
+
+FixMyStreet is a web application written in Perl, using the Catalyst framework.
+Installation deploys the core code and also manages its dependencies.
+
+If you're not technical, this can be a little daunting &mdash; if you haven't
+already done so, [get in touch]({{ "/community" | relative_url }}) and ask for help.
+
+Please also see the instructions for [updating your code](/updating/) once it's installed.
+
+If you're trying to set a FixMyStreet project up outside the UK, let the
+[international team](https://www.mysociety.org/about/mysociety-around-the-world/)
+know by emailing
