h3. Easy installation options
There are a few easy options if you are not confident about installing Tracks from source using these instructions. If you'd like to install Tracks on a local machine, try "BitNami":http://bitnami.org/stack/tracks -- it runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. But they also support preconfigured virtual machines, including Amazon machine images.
Alternatively, you could try "JumpBox":http://jumpbox.com/app/tracks, who provide a JumpBox for Tracks. JumpBoxes are pre-built, pre-configured virtual applications which run in a range of "Virtualization software applications":http://www.jumpbox.com/supported-virtualization-software. You just download the JumpBox (free), then open the file with your Virtualization software. Once the JumpBox has booted, it will give you a URL which you can visit in a browser. The software will then guide you through setting up an account. If you'd like to try out the JumpBox without installing it, you can use the 'Trial This JumpBox' button on the web site, which will let you play around with it to test it out. Furthermore, there is a free public AMI available for Amazon EC2. Just use any EC2 client and search for Tracks. This works in exactly the same way as the downloaded JumpBox you can easily migrate from a downloaded installation to an EC2 instance or back using the backup system of the JumpBox.
There are a few easy options if you are not confident installing Tracks from source using these instructions. If you'd like to install Tracks on a local machine, try the packaged version offered by "Bitnami":http://bitnami.org/stack/tracks -- it runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. If you'd like to run Tracks within a dedicated virtual machine, Bitnami and "JumpBox":http://jumpbox.com/app/tracks provide preconfigured virtual machine images.
Several third parties provide Tracks hosting as a service. A list of these providers can be found "on the wiki":https://github.com/TracksApp/tracks/wiki/Tracks-hosting. Please note that they may run older versions of Tracks.
