# Ansible Installation
2020-03-31 00:06:31 +00:00
This is the same as the [Docker installation](administration_install_docker.md), except that Ansible handles all of it automatically. It also does some extra things like setting up TLS and email for your Lemmy instance.
First, you need to [install Ansible on your local computer](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/installation_guide/intro_installation.html) (e.g. using `sudo apt install ansible`) or the equivalent for you platform.
Then run the following commands on your local computer:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy.git
cd lemmy/ansible/
cp inventory.example inventory
nano inventory # enter your server, domain, contact email
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become
```

To update to a new version, just run the following in your local Lemmy repo:
```bash
git pull origin master
cd ansible
ansible-playbook lemmy.yml --become
```
