## Prepare VPS

In a terminal on the VPS or your homeserver, make the directory that GoToSocial will run from, the directory it will use as storage, and the directory it will store LetsEncrypt certificates in.
This means we need the following hierarchy:
```
.
└── gotosocial
└── storage
└── certs
```
You can create that in one go with:
```bash
mkdir /gotosocial && mkdir /gotosocial/storage && mkdir /gotosocial/storage/certs
mkdir -p /gotosocial/storage/certs
```
If you don't have root permissions on the machine, use something like `~/gotosocial` instead.
## Download Release
In a terminal on the VPS or your homeserver, cd into the base directory for GoToSocial you just created above:

For example, to download version 0.5.2 for running on 64-bit Linux:
For example, to download a version for running on 64-bit Linux:
```bash
wget https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/download/v0.5.2/gotosocial_0.5.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz
GTS_VERSION=X.Y.Z # replace this
GTS_TARGET=linux_amd64
wget https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/download/v${GTS_VERSION}/gotosocial_${GTS_VERSION}_${GTS_TARGET}.tar.gz
```
Then extract it:
```bash
tar -xzf gotosocial_0.5.2_linux_amd64.tar.gz
tar -xzf gotosocial_${GTS_VERSION}_${GTS_TARGET}.tar.gz
```
This will put the `gotosocial` binary in your current directory, in addition to the `web` folder, which contains assets for the web frontend, and an `example` folder, which contains a sample configuration file.
!!! danger
If you prefer to use a snapshot build of GoToSocial based on whatever code is currently on main, you can download recent binary .tar.gz files from https://minio.s3.superseriousbusiness.org/browser/gotosocial-snapshots (keyed by commit hash). Only do this if you know what you're doing, otherwise just take a stable release.
