+# Install SADE
+
+## Debian / Ubuntu
+
+SADE is provided as Debian package for Debian based Linux distributions like Ubuntu.
+
+Latest snapshot development packages can be downloaded from
+[https://ci.de.dariah.eu/packages/pool/snapshots/s/sade/](https://ci.de.dariah.eu/packages/pool/snapshots/s/sade/)
+
+## All Operating Systems
+
+Make sure to have [Java](https://www.java.com/de/download/) at least in version 1.8 installed.
+
+Download SADE as zip file:
+
+* [latest release](https://gitlab.gwdg.de/SADE/build/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=build-master) - recommended
+* [lastest unstable and untested build](https://gitlab.gwdg.de/SADE/build/-/jobs/artifacts/develop/download?job=build-develop)
+
+https://example.com/<namespace>/<project>/-/jobs/artifacts/<ref>/download?job=<job_name>
+https://gitlab.gwdg.de/SADE/build/-/jobs/artifacts/master/download?job=build-master
+
+
+Unzip the file `artifacts.zip`and change to directory `build/sade/bin`
+
+Start the service with `./startup.sh` (Linux/Mac) or `startup.bat` (Windows).
+
+If you have problems starting SADE this way you may also try to change to directory `build/sade` and enter `java -jar start.jar jetty`
+
+Finally eXist front and back end is available at [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/) and the local SADE is visible at
+[http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/sade/index.html](http://localhost:8080/exist/apps/sade/index.html).
