<strong>If you are updating from a very old version of Friendica, you have to first update to version 3.5.4(from here https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh/tree/58774643d2d8918e9eff0ba1c1ba38d2beea79ca) before you can update to the 3.6 release.</strong>
Before installing, read the [Friendica installation instructions](https://github.com/friendica/friendica/blob/master/INSTALL.txt) for important information about
- SSL certificate validation requirement (now with support for [Let's Encrypt!](https://letsencrypt.org)). See Installation section below.
- Dedicated domain (must install under web root like **https://hub.example.com/** not **https://example.com/hub/** )
Friendica requires a dedicated domain, so obtain one and add it using the YunoHost admin panel. **Domains -> Add domain**. As Friendica uses the full domain and is installed on the root, you can create a subdomain such as friendica.domain.tld. Don't forget to update your DNS if you manage them manually.
Friendica requires browser-approved SSL certificates. If you have certificates not issued by [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/), install them manually as usual.
#### YunoHost >= 2.5 :
Once the dedicated domain has been added to YunoHost, go again to the admin panel, go to domains then select your domain and click on "Install Let's Encrypt certificate".
#### Yunohost < 2.5 :
For older versions of YunoHost, once you have added the new domain, SSH into your YunoHost server and perform the following steps:
1. Install [certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) to make installing free SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt simple.
1. Stop nginx
service nginx stop
1. Run the **certbot** utility with the **certonly** option
certbot certonly
1. Copy the generated certificate and key into the appropriate location for YunoHost to use
Use the YunoHost admin panel to install Friendica by entering the GitHub repo address in the custom app URL
https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh
Make sure to select your domain from the previous section as the application domain.
When installation is complete, you will need to visit your new hub and login from the admin account you provided at the time of installation.You can then create your profile and access the admin panel from the button in the center of the top nav bar, just adjecent to the search bar.<b>(The admin panel don't have text,so don't get confuse) </b>
Other users can use the Ldap authentication to be a normal user on the hub.
