### _A personal server for everyone._ ###

|
|
|
|

|
### :moneybag: Buy an Embassy
|
|
This is the most convenient option. Simply [buy an Embassy](https://start9labs.com) from Start9 Labs and plug it in. Depending on where you live, shipping costs and import duties may vary.
|
|
|
|
### :construction_worker: Build your own Embassy
|
|
While not as convenient as buying an Embassy, this option is easier than you might imagine, and there are 4 reasons why you might prefer it:
|
|
1. You already have a Raspberry Pi and would like to re-purpose it.
|
|
1. You want to save on shipping costs.
|
|
1. You prefer not to divulge your physical shipping address.
|
|
1. You just like building things.
|
|
|
|
To pursue this option, follow this [guide](https://docs.start9labs.com/getting-started/diy.html).
|
|
|
|
### :hammer_and_wrench: Build EmbassyOS from Source
|
|
|
|
EmbassyOS can be built from source, for personal use, for free.
|
|
A detailed guide for doing so can be found [here](https://github.com/Start9Labs/embassy-os/blob/master/BuildGuide.md).
