#Installation

Here are some tips to expedite the installation procedure:

• A PostgreSQL database and Redis server are always required.
• Generally, you can skip the webhooks daemons unless you need them.
• Always prefer package installations for obtaining dependencies.
• You can usually get away without configuring the outgoing mail settings, but you may still have to generate a PGP key to get things started up.
• You can skip setting up a reverse proxy and use our development servers via python3 run.py instead.

#Sending Patches

We use git send-email and discuss patches (and other development topics) on the sr.ht-dev list. Please send your patches and development questions there.
