To host your own copy of Riot, the quickest bet is to use a pre-built

released version of Riot:
|

|

1. Download the latest version from https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/releases
|

1. Untar the tarball on your web server

1. Move (or symlink) the `riot-x.x.x` directory to an appropriate name
|

as desired. See below for details.
|

1. Enter the URL into your browser and log into Riot!
