Also, we really want to continue to focus on features and improving the code base. When we think it is
ready for general use, we will post more detailed instructions.
## Notice
We currently run Diaspora with the [thin](http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/) as our webserver, behind [nginx](http://wiki.nginx.org/Main). Diaspora uses the asynchronous feature of [EventMachine](http://rubyeventmachine.com/)
Because our websocket server and message queue both work using the power of the [Reactor](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactor_pattern) pattern. If you use mod_rails, mongrel, or another non-eventmachine based application server, federation and/or websockets may not work.
We will try and fully support more webservers later, but that is what works for now.
These instructions are for machines running [Ubuntu](http://www.ubuntu.com/), [Fedora](http://www.fedoraproject.org) or Mac OS X. We are developing Diaspora for the latest and greatest browsers, so please update your Firefox, Chrome or Safari to the latest and greatest.
