We're quickly moving out of this v0.x stage, but while we're in it, there are no guarantees that this is ready for production use.
First, download the [latest release](https://github.com/writeas/writefreely/releases/latest) for your OS. It includes everything you need to start your blog. To get started, head over to our [Getting Started guide](https://writefreely.org/start). For production use, jump to the [Running in Production](https://writefreely.org/start#production) section.
Now extract the files from the archive, change into the directory, and do the following steps:
```bash
# 1) Configure your blog
./writefreely --config
# 2) (if you chose MySQL in the previous step) Log into MySQL and run:
# CREATE DATABASE writefreely;
# 3) (if you chose Multi-user setup) Import the schema with:
./writefreely --init-db
# 4) Generate data encryption keys
./writefreely --gen-keys
# 5) Run
./writefreely
# 6) Check out your site at the URL you specified in the setup process
# 7) There is no Step 7, you're done!
```
For running in production, [see our guide](https://writefreely.org/start#production).
