# Installation

> Self-host, effortlessly.

This project is designed with self-hostability in mind and comes as a **single-binary with no additional database setup** that can be downloaded on [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/medama-io/medama/releases). If you are familiar with self-hosting, you can run the binary on your server immediately. If you are unsure, the following guides will help you get started.

### Environment

For most small websites, a VM with 512MB of memory is recommended. However, this project can easily scale vertically, making use of additional resources for larger websites. Storage requirements will increase gradually based on traffic.
