+
+Getting the srndv2 tool
+
+I am using debian, you should be able to use most any linux distro for this. Known to work are: debian, arch linux, <TODO: add  more>.
+
+Most commands should be done as a normal user, but some special commands need to be done as root. I find it useful to have two terminals open. I'll denote normal user level commands with '$' and root command with '#'.
+
+Some dependencies you will need to install (as root) are:
+ 
+# apt-get install build-essential golang git
+# apt-get install libsodium-dev ffmpegthumbnailer
+# apt-get install imagemagick ffmpegthumbnailer sox
+
+The source code is in these two repos:
+
+* https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan
+* https://github.com/majestrate/srndv2
+
+set up your GOPATH (notes on that here: https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH ) and then install and build it:
+
+$ go get -u github.com/majestrate/srndv2
+
+If that command didn't work read the errors and check if you lacked any dependencies.
+
+Now you have the srndv2 tool which you can run, but it will not work yet: You need to step up an SQL database first.
+
+--------------
+
+Setting up an SQL database
+
+* https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Detailed_installation_guides
+
+Install postgresql.
+
+# apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client
+
+Create a postgresql user called 'srnd' and a database 'srnd':
+
+# su postgres
+$ whoami
+postgres
+$ psql -f nntpchan/nntp.psql
+
+TODO: Get correct filename here.
+
+Test if you can log in to that SQL user this way:
+
+$ psql -d srnd -U srnd
+
+If there is an issue with that try the following from the debian wiki:
+
+------------
+edit pg_hba.conf in /etc/postgresql/X.Y/main/pg_hba.conf
+
+local   all         all                               trust     # replace ident or peer with trust
+
+reload postgresql
+
+# /etc/init.d/postgresql reload
+------------
+
+hit Contol-D to get back your root terminal after doing this.
+
+
+Once SQL setup is successful..
+
+
+Now as your regular user that installed the srndv2 tool, you should be able to set up srndv2
+
+First clone nntpchan and cd into it, then ask the srndv2 tool to setup your node:
+
+$ git clone https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan.git
+$ cd nntpchann
+ntpchan/$ srndv2 setup
+ntpchan/$ srndv2 tool keygen
