adduser --disabled-password --disabled-login foundkey
```
The following steps will require logging into the `foundkey` user, so do that now.
```sh
su - foundkey
```
## Install FoundKey
1. Login to the `foundkey` user
We recommend using a local branch and merging in upstream releases as they get tagged. This allows for easy local customization of your install.
`su - foundkey`
First, clone the FoundKey repo:
```sh
git clone https://akkoma.dev/FoundKeyGang/FoundKey
cd FoundKey
```
2. Clone the FoundKey repository
Now create your local branch. In this example, we'll be using `toast.cafe` as the local branch name and release `v13.0.0-preview1` as the tag to track. To create that branch:
```sh
git checkout tags/v13.0.0-preview1 -b toast.cafe
```
`git clone --recursive https://akkoma.dev/FoundKeyGang/FoundKey foundkey`
3. Navigate to the repository
`cd foundkey`
4. Install FoundKey's dependencies
`yarn install`
Updating will be covered in a later section. For now you'll want to install the dependencies using Yarn:
```sh
yarn install
```
## Configure FoundKey
1. Copy `.config/example.yml` to `.config/default.yml`.

You can check if the service is running with `rc-service foundkey status`.
### Updating FoundKey
Use git to pull in the latest changes and rerun the build and migration commands:
When a new release comes out, simply fetch and merge in the new tag. If you plan on making additional changes on top of that tag, we suggest using the `--squash` option with `git merge`.
```sh
git fetch -t
git merge tags/v13.0.0-preview2
# you are now on the "next" release
```
Now you'll want to update your dependencies and rebuild:
```sh
git pull
git submodule update --init
yarn install
# Use build-parallel if your system has 4GB or more RAM and want faster builds
NODE_ENV=production yarn build
```
Next, run the database migrations:
```sh
yarn migrate
```
