+INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
+------------------------- for debian-server
+
+1/ Minimal debian install
+-------------------------
+
+Install a minimal debian-server system with the software:
+
+- OpenSSH server
+- LAMP server (don't forget php5-mysql)
+- Mail server
+
+You will get some questions, you will probably want to set:
+sudo apt-get install postfix
+- Postfix Configuration: Satellite system
+
+Make sure your system is up2date:
+apt-get update
+apt-get upgrade
+
+
+2/ Dependencies *
+----------------
+Once the system is installed you can perform the following steps as root:
+
+# Because vim is just so practical
+apt-get install vim
+
+# Install the dependencies:
+apt-get install gcc zip php-pear git redis-server make python-dev python-pip libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev php5-dev libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql curl
+pear install Crypt_GPG    # we need version >1.3.0 
+#if you are using a proxy do:
+pear config-set http_proxy http://username:password@yourproxy:80
+
+
+3/ MISP code
+------------
+# Download MISP using git in the /var/www/ directory. 
+cd /var/www/
+git clone https://github.com/MISP/MISP.git 
+
+# if you are behind a proxy:
+git config --global http.proxy http://username:password@yourproxy:80
+
+# Make git ignore filesystem permission differences
+cd /var/www/MISP
+git config core.filemode false
+
+# install Mitre's STIX and its dependencies by running the following commands:
+apt-get install python-dev python-pip libxml2-dev libxslt-dev zlib1g-dev
+cd /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts
+git clone https://github.com/CybOXProject/python-cybox.git
+git clone https://github.com/STIXProject/python-stix.git
+cd /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts/python-cybox
+git checkout v2.1.0.12
+# before the next step make sure your http_proxy and https_proxy settings are set
+python setup.py install
+cd /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts/python-stix
+git checkout v1.1.1.4
+python setup.py install
+
+4/ CakePHP
+-----------
+# CakePHP is now included as a submodule of MISP, execute the following commands to let git fetch it:
+
+cd /var/www/MISP
+git submodule init
+git submodule update
+
+# Once done, install CakeResque along with its dependencies if you intend to use the built in background jobs:
+cd /var/www/MISP/app
+curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
+php composer.phar require kamisama/cake-resque:4.1.2
+php composer.phar config vendor-dir Vendor
+php composer.phar install
+
+# CakeResque normally uses phpredis to connect to redis, but it has a (buggy) fallback connector through Redisent. It is highly advised to install phpredis
+pecl install redis
+apt-get install php5-redis
+# Note that the php5-redis package in Debian oldstable (wheezy) only exists in the backports repository: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
+# After installing it, enable it in your php.ini file
+vim /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
+# add the following line:
+extension=redis.so
+
+# To use the scheduler worker for scheduled tasks, do the following:
+cp -fa /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/setup/config.php /var/www/MISP/app/Plugin/CakeResque/Config/config.php
+
+5/ Set the permissions
+----------------------
+
+# Check if the permissions are set correctly using the following commands as root:
+chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/MISP
+chmod -R 750 /var/www/MISP
+chmod -R g+ws /var/www/MISP/app/tmp
+chmod -R g+ws /var/www/MISP/app/files
+chmod -R g+ws /var/www/MISP/app/files/scripts/tmp
+
+6/ Create a database and user
+-----------------------------
+# Enter the mysql shell
+mysql -u root -p
+
+mysql> create database misp;
+mysql> grant usage on *.* to misp@localhost identified by 'XXXXXXXXX';
+mysql> grant all privileges on misp.* to misp@localhost ;
+mysql> exit
+
+cd /var/www/MISP
+
+# Import the empty MySQL database from MYSQL.sql 
+mysql -u misp -p misp < INSTALL/MYSQL.sql
+#enter the password you set previously
+
+
+7/ Apache configuration
+-----------------------
+# Now configure your apache server with the DocumentRoot /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/
+# A sample vhost can be found in /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/apache.misp.ubuntu
+
+cp /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/apache.misp.ubuntu /etc/apache2/sites-available/misp.conf
+
+# Be aware that the configuration files for apache 2.4 and up have changed. 
+# The configuration file has to have the .conf extension in the sites-available directory
+# For more information, visit http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
+ 
+a2dissite 000-default
+# 000-default can be called default based on distribution, in which case run a2dissite default
+a2ensite misp
+
+# Enable modules
+a2enmod rewrite
+
+# Restart apache
+service apache2 reload
+
+# We seriously recommend using only SSL ! 
+# Check out the /var/www/MISP/INSTALL/apache.misp.ssl file for an example
+
+
+8/ MISP configuration
+---------------------
+# There are 4 sample configuration files in /var/www/MISP/app/Config that need to be copied
+cd /var/www/MISP/app/Config
+cp -a bootstrap.default.php bootstrap.php
+cp -a database.default.php database.php
+cp -a core.default.php core.php
+cp -a config.default.php config.php
+ 
+# Configure the fields in the newly created files:
+# database.php : login, port, password, database
+# bootstrap.php: uncomment the last 3 lines to enable the background workers (see below)
+# CakePlugin::loadAll(array('CakeResque' => array('bootstrap' => true)));
+
+# To enable the background workers, if you have installed the package required for it in 4/, uncomment the following lines:
+# in core.php (if you have just recently updated MISP, just add this line at the end of the file):
+# require_once dirname(__DIR__) . '/Vendor/autoload.php';
+
+# Important! Change the salt key in /var/www/MISP/app/Config/config.php
+# The salt key must be an at least 32 byte long string.
+# The admin user account will be generated on the first login, make sure that the salt is changed before you create that user
+# If you forget to do this step, and you are still dealing with a fresh installation, just alter the salt, 
+# delete the user from mysql and log in again using the default admin credentials (admin@admin.test / admin)
+
+# Change base url in config.php
+'baseurl' => 'https://yourhostname.net',
+
+# and make sure the file permissions are still OK
+chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/MISP/app/Config
+chmod -R 750 /var/www/MISP/app/Config
+
+# Generate a GPG encryption key.
+mkdir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg
+chown www-data:www-data /var/www/MISP/.gnupg
+chmod 700 /var/www/MISP/.gnupg
+sudo -u www-data gpg --homedir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg --gen-key
+
+# The email address should match the one set in the config.php configuration file
+# Make sure that you use the same settings in the MISP Server Settings tool (Described on line 184)
+
+# And export the public key to the webroot
+sudo -u www-data gpg --homedir /var/www/MISP/.gnupg --export --armor YOUR-EMAIL > /var/www/MISP/app/webroot/gpg.asc
+
+# To make the background workers start on boot
+chmod +x /var/www/MISP/app/Console/worker/start.sh
+sudo vim /etc/rc.local
+# Add the following line before the last line (exit 0). Make sure that you replace www-data with your apache user:
+su www-data -c 'bash /var/www/MISP/app/Console/worker/start.sh'
+
+# Now log in using the webinterface:
+# The default user/pass = admin@admin.test/admin 
+
+# Using the server settings tool in the admin interface (Administration -> Server Settings), set MISP up to your preference
+# It is especially vital that no critical issues remain!
+# start the workers by navigating to the workers tab and clicking restart all workers
+
+#Don't forget to change the email, password and authentication key after installation.
+
+# Once done, have a look at the diagnostics
+
+# If any of the directories that MISP uses to store files is not writeable to the apache user, change the permissions
+# you can do this by running the following commands:
+
+chmod -R 750 /var/www/MISP/<directory path with an indicated issue>
+chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/MISP/<directory path with an indicated issue>
+
+# Make sure that the STIX libraries and GnuPG work as intended, if not, refer to INSTALL.txt's paragraphs dealing with these two items
+
+# If anything goes wrong, make sure that you check MISP's logs for errors:
+# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/error.log
+# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-worker-error.log
+# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-scheduler-error.log
+# /var/www/MISP/app/tmp/logs/resque-2015-01-01.log //where the actual date is the current date
+
+Recommended actions
+-------------------
+- By default CakePHP exposes his name and version in email headers. Apply a patch to remove this behavior.
+
+- You should really harden your OS
+- You should really harden the configuration of Apache
+- You should really harden the configuration of MySQL
+- Keep your software up2date (MISP, CakePHP and everything else)
+- Log and audit
+
+Optional features
+-------------------
+# MISP has a new pub/sub feature, using ZeroMQ. To enable it, simply run the following command
+pip install pyzmq
