+# Installation
+
+You need a MySQL server with `utf8mb4` support.
+If you have issues, try adding this to your `my.cnf`:
+```
+[mysqld]
+character-set-client-handshake = FALSE
+character-set-server = utf8mb4
+collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
+```
+
+The rest should be a default rails installation:
+```shell
+bundle
+rake db:setup
+rails s
+```
+
+Note: We currently use rails [4-2-stable](https://github.com/rails/rails/tree/4-2-stable) because it has backported [support for `utf8mb4`](https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/37e5770fd3db04f3206075d736fc14161dd04530).
