+## Masochist server install
+If you're looking to install Kandan on a private server (why??) then here are some notes you'll want to read:
+
+    # For development-mode
+    sudo apt-get install nodejs # (execjs needed an execution environment)
+    gem install execjs # (maybe I could have just added this to the gemfile?)
+
+    # Add this to the gemfile:
+    group :development do  
+      gem 'sqlite3'
+    end
+
+    # Get the new gems
+    bundle install
+
+    # Use the default database.yml to get started
+    cp config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml
+
+    # Edit config/database.yml if you want to use postgres/mysql
+
+    # Bootstrap the install
+    bundle exec rake db:create db:migrate kandan:bootstrap
+    bundle exec rails server
