+## How to
+The following procedure shows how to install this project using Docker. It describe procedure to easily build your custom image and deploy.
+
+To install this project using Docker, you will need Docker Engine install on your machine. Procedure to install Docker can be found [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)
+
+Here's how to start:
+
+1. **Build your Docker image**
+ 1. Clone this GitHub repo with
+    - `git clone https://github.com/numberly/mattermost-integration-giphy.git`
+    - `cd mattermost-integration-giphy`
+ 2. Build and tag Docker image using the Dockerfile provided
+    - `docker build -t mattermost-integration-giphy .`
+
+2. **Set up your Mattermost slash command**
+ 1. Log in to your Mattermost account. Click the three dot menu at the top of the left-hand side and go to **Integrations** > **Slash Commands**
+ 2. Under *Add a new command*, enter `gif` into **Command Trigger Word**
+ 3. Paste your Web Server domain into *Callback URLs*, making sure to add `http://` to the beginning and `/new_post` to the end so it looks similar to `http://<your-web-server-domain>:<MATTERMOST_GIPHY_PORT>/new_post` and click **Add**
+ 4. Select `POST` method
+ 5. (optional) Choose a username and icon url (more details [here](https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/slash-commands.html#set-up-a-custom-command))
+ 6. (optional) Check the autocomplete checkbox, add `[KEYWORD]` as the hint, `Returns a GIF from Giphy based on the keyword` as the description and `Get a GIF from Giphy` as the descriptive label
+ 7. Copy the *Token* from your newly created slash command that appears under the *Existing commands* section
+
+3. **Run the integration with Docker**  
+  Back on your server, you only need to run your container, with some environnement variables
+    - `MATTERMOST_GIPHY_TOKEN=<your-token-here>` : this is the token you copied in the last section (you can specify multiple tokens which are separated by a colon)
+    - `MATTERMOST_GIPHY_HOST=<your-host>`  : the host you want the integration (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
+    - `MATTERMOST_GIPHY_PORT=<your-port-number>` : the port number you want the integration to listen on (defaults to 5000)
+    - `GIPHY_API_KEY=<giphy-api-key>` : key to use for Giphy API. Default public one is `dc6zaTOxFJmzC`
+  Your container can be run with the following command :
+  ```
+  docker run -d \
+  --name mattermost-giphy \
+  -p 5000:5000 \
+  -e MATTERMOST_GIPHY_TOKEN=<your-token-here> \
+  -e MATTERMOST_GIPHY_HOST=0.0.0.0 \
+  -e MATTERMOST_GIPHY_PORT=5000 \
+  -e GIPHY_API_KEY=dc6zaTOxFJmzC \
+  mattermost-integration-giphy
+  ```
+
+That's it! You should be able to type `gif: hello` or `/gif hello` into any channel and see a GIF from Giphy's translate service.

+## How to
+The following procedure shows how to install this project on a Linux web server running Ubuntu 14.04. The following instructions work behind a firewall so long as the web server has access to your GitLab and Mattermost instances. 
+
+To install this project using a Linux-based web server, you will need a Linux/Ubuntu 14.04 web server supporting Python 2.7 or a compatible version. Other compatible operating systems and Python versions should also work. 
+
+Here's how to start:
+
+1. **Set up this project to run on your web server**
+ 1. Set up a **Linux Ubuntu 14.04** server either on your own machine or on a hosted service, like AWS.
+ 2. **SSH** into the machine, or just open your terminal if you're installing locally
+ 3. Confirm **Python 2.7** or a compatible version is installed by running:
+    - `python --version` If it's not installed you can find it [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
+ 4. Install **pip** and other essentials
+    - `sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential`
+ 5. Clone this GitHub repo with
+    - `git clone https://github.com/numberly/mattermost-integration-giphy.git`
+    - `cd mattermost-integration-giphy`
+ 6. Install integration requirements
+    - `sudo python setup.py install`
+
+2. **Set up your Mattermost slash command**
+ 1. Log in to your Mattermost account. Click the three dot menu at the top of the left-hand side and go to **Integrations** > **Slash Commands**
+ 2. Under *Add a new command*, enter `gif` into **Command Trigger Word**
+ 3. Paste your Web Server domain into *Callback URLs*, making sure to add `http://` to the beginning and `/new_post` to the end so it looks similar to `http://<your-web-server-domain>:<MATTERMOST_GIPHY_PORT>/new_post` and click **Add**
+ 4. Select `POST` method
+ 5. (optional) Choose a username and icon url (more details [here](https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/slash-commands.html#set-up-a-custom-command))
+ 6. (optional) Check the autocomplete checkbox, add `[KEYWORD]` as the hint, `Returns a GIF from Giphy based on the keyword` as the description and `Get a GIF from Giphy` as the descriptive label
+ 7. Copy the *Token* from your newly created slash command that appears under the *Existing commands* section
+
+3. **Run the server with the correct configuration**
+ 1. Back on SSH or your terminal, add the following lines to your `~/.bash_profile`
+    - `export MATTERMOST_GIPHY_TOKEN=<your-token-here>` This is the token you copied in the last section (you can specify multiple tokens which are separated by a colon)
+    - `export MATTERMOST_GIPHY_HOST=<your-host>` or `export HOST=<your-host>` The host you want the integration (defaults to 0.0.0.0)
+    - `export MATTERMOST_GIPHY_PORT=<your-port-number>` or `export PORT=<you-port-number>` The port number you want the integration to listen on (defaults to 5000)
+ 2. Source your bash profile
+    - `source ~/.bash_profile`
+ 3. Run the server
+    - `python run.py`
+
+That's it! You should be able to type `gif: hello` or `/gif hello` into any channel and see a GIF from Giphy's translate service.
+
+
+## Production setup
+If you'd like to use this integration in a production envrionment, it is strongly recommended that you get a production Giphy API key from [here](http://api.giphy.com/submit). Once you have that you can configure the integration to use it:
+
+1. Stop the process currently running the integration
+1. Add the following lines to your `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.bashrc` 
+   - `export GIPHY_API_KEY=<your-api-key-here>` With your Giphy API key
+2. Source your bash profile
+   - `source ~/.bash_profile` or `source ~/.bashrc`
+3. Run the server again
+   - `python run.py`

+Once installed, users can type `gif: keyword` to send a query to the Giphy search engine and return with a post containing one non-deterministic search result from the Giphy database of animated GIF files matching `keyword`. The animation will appear below in the posted message. 
+
+Powered by [Giphy](http://giphy.com/).
+
+## Project Goal
+The goal of this project is to provide a fully-functional template on which the Mattermost community can create their own integration services. Community members are invited to fork this repo to add improvements and to create new integrations. 
+
+To have your work included on the [Mattermost integrations page](http://www.mattermost.org/community-applications/), please mail info@mattermost.com or tweet to [@MattermostHQ](https://twitter.com/mattermosthq). 
+
+## Requirements
+To run this integration you need:
+
+1. A **web server** supporting Python 2.7 or compatible versions.
+2. A **[Mattermost account](http://www.mattermost.org/)** [where outgoing webhooks are enabled](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/doc/integrations/webhooks/Outgoing-Webhooks.md#enabling-outgoing-webhooks)
+
+Many web server options will work, below we provide instructions for [**Heroku**](HEROKU.md) and a general [**Linux/Ubuntu**](LINUX.md) server.
+
+### Heroku-based Install
+[**Here**](HEROKU.md)
+
+### Linux/Ubuntu 14.04 Web Server Install
+[**Here**](LINUX.md)
+
+### Docker install
+[**Here**](DOCKER.md)
