+**Important: Please do not install PTMagic if you are already running Profit Trailer Feeder. Both tools write to your bot .PROPERTIES files and there may be side effects.**
+
+**Note:** As we are no Linux experts we are not able to support you with Linux specific issues.
+
+**Cryptopopolus** created scripts to install **Profit Trailer** and **PT Magic** on your Ubuntu/CentOS/RedHat machine so you don't need to do it manually. Find these scripts [here at Bitbucket](https://bitbucket.org/cryptopopolis/profittrailer/wiki/Home).  
+
+**Neomelb** created a posting that has instructions on how to setup PT Magic on Ubuntu in _Chinese_ [here](https://steemit.com/ptmagic/@neomelb/ubuntu-linux-ptmagic-profittrailer) and **Nidkil** in english [here](http://nidkil.me/2018/02/19/pt-magic-setup-on-ubuntu-17-10/).
+
+## Quick Start
+To run PTMagic on a Linux server you have to install .NET Core and a webserver. The steps and commands are slightly different for each Linux distribution, so you need to find the instructions that are right for your Linux flavour.
+
+### Download and setup ASP.NET Core
+Click this [link](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/linux-prerequisites?tabs=netcore2x) to find instructions to download and setup .NET Core on your Linux distribution (exampe is Ubuntu Linux). You only need to execute the first 2 topics:
+
+1. Add the dotnet product feed
+2. Install .NET SDK
+
+**Note:** It seems that you also need to install the .NET framework runtime package store with 
+
+> apt-get install aspnetcore-store-2.0.5
+
+This installs a lot of packages for offline usage that is needed by ASP.NET Core (PT Magic monitor).
+
+### Setup PTMagic monitor website
+To access the PTMagic monitor website (running on port 5000) you need to install and configure the Apache webserver on your machine and setup a reverse proxy for port 80. An example walk through can be found [here](https://blog.todotnet.com/2017/07/publishing-and-running-your-asp-net-core-project-on-linux/).
+
+### Configure PT Magic
+After installing .NET Core proceed with the [setup guide](https://github.com/Legedric/ptmagic/wiki/Setup-Guide) to configure your installation. After that go to the **PT Magic** folder in a terminal window and start with the command
+
+> dotnet PTMagic.dll
+
+and the monitor application with
+
+> dotnet Monitor/Monitor.dll
+
+
