+# Ubuntu
+
+These are the instructions for running Drone on Ubuntu . We recommend using Ubuntu 14.04, the latest stable distribution. We also highly recommend using AUFS as the default file system driver for Docker.
+
+## System Requirements
+
+```
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
+```
+
+The default Drone installation also assumes Docker is installed locally on the host machine. To install Docker on Ubuntu please see the official [installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/).
+
+## Installation
+
+Once the environment is prepared you can install Drone from a debian file:
+
+```
+wget downloads.drone.io/0.4.0/drone.deb
+sudo dpkg --install drone.deb
+```
+
+## Settings
+
+Drone uses environment variables for runtime settings and configuration, such as GitHub, GitLab, plugins and more. These settings are loaded from `/etc/drone/dronerc`.
+
+## Starting, Stopping, Logs
+
+Commands to start, stop and restart Drone:
+
+```
+sudo start drone
+sudo stop drone
+sudo restart drone
+```
+
+And to view the Drone logs:
+
+```
+sudo cat /var/log/upstart/drone.log
+```
