+# Sovran Scripts
+------------------
+
+Install scripts for self-hosting things.
+
+## How to use these scripts
+----------------------------
+
+These should work on most newer Debian based distros that use apt.
+
+If your using a GUI then you can download the codes zip file > unzip and open the folder > 
+Right click on the folder select "Open in terminal" > then type `ls` this will show whats in the folder > 
+then `sudo ./full_script_name.sh`. You'll need to provide an admin password. 
+
+
+If you are running 'headless' and dont have Git installed yet you can run : 
+
+`wget https://github.com/Enkimin/Sovran-Scripts/archive/main.tar.gz` >
+then run `tar -xzvf main.tar.gz` > and `cd main` > `ls` > `sudo ./script_name.sh`
+
+
+You can use Git with `git clone https://github.com/Enkimin/Sovran-Scripts.git` > 
+then `cd Sovran-Scripts` > `ls` > `sudo ./script_name.sh`
+
+
