## Unix installation

Please check [[UNIX Installation]] for a detailed view of how to install Kepler on Unix machines (including OSX).

## Windows installation

Installing Kepler on Windows does not require any C compiler and should work on any Windows machine with internet access.

1. Download [LuaRocks](http://luarocks.org) and install it using `install /SCRIPTS c:\luarocks\1.0` (executed from the command prompt, in the directory you expanded the LuaRocks installer)
2. Add the LuaRocks scripts dir (the same directory used in the `/SCRIPTS` parameter above) to your system path using the My Computer/Properties/Advanced/Environment Variables/System Variables box
3. Close and reopen the terminal window so the new Path is active
4. Install Kepler and Xavante using `luarocks install kepler-xavante`
5. Configure everything using `setup-kepler` and following the instructions
6. Use `xavante` to run Xavante as a tray bar application, or use 'xavante_start' to run Xavante
from the command prompt. Another option is to run Kepler using CGI

## After Installation (Unix or Windows)

Once Kepler is running, you might want to look at those pages:

- [[Hello World]] will tell you how to write a simple application

- [[Using a Database]] will tell you how to use some of the popular databases with Kepler.

- [[Configuring Web Servers]] will tell you how to use Kepler with some specific web servers.

If you have a specific question that does not seem to be answered elsewhere in this section, check the [[User FAQ]].  [[Getting Help]] describes what you can do when you have a problem that you can't resolve with the documentation provided here.
