 Installation
 ------------
 
-For now please see the existing instructions at http://www.observium.org/.
+NOTE: What follows is a very rough list of commands.  This works on a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.
+NOTE: These instructions assume you are using a separate server for your database.  You will need to adjust the instructions if you are running the database on the same server.
 
-Please join the librenms-project at http://groups.google.com/ if you would
-like to participate.
+## On the DB Server ##
 
+    aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client snmpd
+    mysql -uroot -p
+
+enter root mysql password
+Create database
+
+    CREATE DATABASE librenms;
+    GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON librenms.*
+      TO 'librenms'@'<ip>'
+      IDENTIFIED BY '<password>'
+    ;
+    FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
+    exit
+
+allow MySQL to listen on local LAN
+
+    vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf
+
+edit line 47 (should be `bind-address = 127.0.0.1`)
+and change it to your IP address
+now restart MySQL
+
+    service mysql restart
+
+
+## On the NMS ##
+
+    aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-mysql php5-gd php5-snmp php-pear snmp graphviz php5-mcrypt apache2 fping imagemagick whois mtr-tiny nmap python-mysqldb snmpd mysql-client php-net-ipv4 php-net-ipv6 rrdtool
+    git clone https://github.com/libertysys/librenms.git librenms
+    cd /opt/librenms
+    cp config.php.default config.php
+    vim config.php
+
+change lines 6-9 to match your db config
+change lines 17 and 20 to 'librenms'
+change line 31 to match your most common read-only SNMP community string
+
+copy sql commands to db server
+
+    scp -r build.sql <ip>:
+
+Subsitute your database server's IP address.  If it's local host, the above step is unnecessary.
+
+## On DB Server ##
+
+    mysql -ulibrenms -p < build.sql
+
+This assumes you used the username `librenms`.  If you used something different, adjust here.
+
+## On the NMS ##
+
+Create admin user - priv should be 10
+
+    php adduser.php <name> <pass> 10
+
+Substitute your desired username and password--and leave the angled brackets off.
+
+### Add localhost ###
+
+    php addhost.php localhost public v2c
+
+This assumes you haven't made community changes--if you have, replace `public` with your community.  It also assumes SNMP v2c.  If you're using v3, there are additional steps (NOTE: instructions for SNMPv3 to come).
+
+Discover localhost
+
+    php discovery.php -h all
+
+First poller
+
+    php poller.php -h all
+
+Create the cronjob
+
+    cp librenms.cron /etc/cron.d/librenms
