# Installation from binary
## Download
Diun binaries are available in [releases](https://github.com/crazy-max/diun/releases) page.
Choose the archive matching the destination platform and extract diun:
```
wget -qO- https://github.com/crazy-max/diun/releases/download/v3.0.0/diun_3.0.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz | tar -zxvf - diun
```
After getting the binary, it can be tested with [`./diun --help`](../getting-started.md#diun-cli) command and moved to a permanent location.
## Server configuration
Steps below are the recommended server configuration.
### Prepare environment
Create user to run diun (ex. `diun`)
```
groupadd diun
useradd -s /bin/false -d /bin/null -g diun diun
```
### Create required directory structure
```
mkdir -p /var/lib/diun
chown diun:diun /var/lib/diun/
chmod -R 750 /var/lib/diun/
mkdir /etc/diun
chown diun:diun /etc/diun
chmod 770 /etc/diun
```
### Configuration
Create your first [configuration](../configuration.md) file in `/etc/diun/diun.yml` and type:
```
chown diun:diun /etc/diun/diun.yml
chmod 644 /etc/diun/diun.yml
```
> 💡 Not required if you want to only rely on environment variables
### Copy binary to global location
```
cp diun /usr/local/bin/diun
```
## Running Diun
After the above steps, two options to run Diun:
### 1. Creating a service file (recommended)
See how to create [Linux service](linux-service.md) to start Diun automatically.
### 2. Running from command-line/terminal
```
DIUN_DB_PATH=/var/lib/diun/diun.db /usr/local/bin/diun --config /etc/diun/diun.yml
```
## Updating to a new version
You can update to a new version of Diun by stopping it, replacing the binary at `/usr/local/bin/diun` and restarting the instance.
If you have carried out the installation steps as described above, the binary should have the generic name `diun`. Do not change this, i.e. to include the version number.
