| - | Although ARDI was designed the the capability to run on Windows where required, it is much easier to maintain when run in Linux. | + | ARDI is available in for two major platforms - Ubuntu Linux and Windows. |
| - | As such, we suggest **Ubuntu 14.04 LTS** as our platform of choice. It's free, popular, extremely stable and supported by major VPS cloud hosting providers such as Amazon AWS and Digital Ocean. | + | Either way, we suggest running ARDI on a dedicated server or virtual machine. |
| - | We provide installer scripts to make installation of ARDI on a new linux system extremely straight-forward. | + | ===Windows Installation=== |
| - | Ubuntu is also based on Debian, which is also used as the operating system for many small hardware devices, such as the **Raspberry PI**, **BeagleBone Black** and **PCDuino**, which are low-cost hardware options for ARDI. | + | You can download the ARDI server installer from http://www.optrix.com.au/ardi/downloads/windows |
