The following explains how to install SaltOS quickly with a free web host:
-
Access any of the following vendors (there are a lot of other sites with the same benefits, conditions and are still free)
-
http://www.000webhost.com/
-
http://www.nixiweb.com/
-
Create a hosting (the first let you have a custom url, but the second does not, they propose other services that are also free)
-
Access hosting control panel you've created before
-
Download the nightly SaltOS (file .tgz)
-
Rename it to .tar.gz in the computer where you download it
-
Depending on the hosting and language, search through the control panel for the option:
-
"1-Click Website Restore"
-
"Importar Sitio"
-
"Import website"
-
Wait while the file is uploaded to the server (this can be quite time consuming, depending on the bandwidth that you have available)
-
Go to hosting website you have created in step 2 and voila :) the SaltOS installer is waiting to you.
-
Press the Next button on all screens until SaltOS is fully installed.
Notes about the hostings:
-
The hostings list above are merely examples, I do not have any favorite among them.
-
SaltOS has been tested with these hosts (hence appearing here)
SaltOS installation notes:
-
If you want to use a different user name/password to admin/admin, you can modify it at step 3
-
If you want to load some example data, check the appropriate option in step 3

Street data can cause problems and may only contain the streets of Spain.
