Work in progress. More documentation coming soon.

Minimal requirements:
2GB RAM, 4GB Free space

Replace <you_ip_or_domain> with domain where Superdesk will be accessible.
For example test.superdesk.org or 139.59.154.138

Install a Superdesk on fresh Ubuntu 16.04

(echo HOST=<you_ip_or_domain>; curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superdesk/fireq/master/files/superdesk/install) | sudo bash

Install a Liveblog on fresh Ubuntu 16.04

(echo HOST=<you_ip_or_domain>; curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superdesk/fireq/master/files/liveblog/install) | sudo bash

More details with DigitalOcean instance

Things are the same for Liveblog, just replace superdesk with liveblog.
