Windows Installation
Run install.bat, e.g. double-click on it. You will also have to start-up MySQL, which if you're using Wnmp or friends is just a matter of opening that program and starting the MySQL process via it.
Follow the instructions shown on the screen.
To navigate to the folder the software is in at any time in the future, you can just type cd followed by the folder's name, e.g. cd /home/gosora/src/ and then you can run your commands. cd stands for change directory.
Linux Simple Installation
Simple installations are usually recommended for trying out the software rather than for deploying it in production as they are less hardened and have fewer service facilities.
This might also be fine, if you're using something else as a reverse-proxy (e.g. Nginx).
First, we need somewhere for the software to live, if you're familiar with Linux, then you might have some ideas of your own, otherwise we may just go for ~/gosora.
First, we'll navigate to our home folder by typing: cd ~
And then, we'll going to pull a copy of Gosora off the git server with: git clone https://github.com/Azareal/Gosora
And now, we're going to rename the downloaded folder from Gosora to gosora because the uppercase letter bugs me with: mv Gosora gosora
We can now hop into that folder with the same command we used for getting to the home folder:
cd gosora
And now, we'll change the permissions on the installer script, otherwise we'll get an access denied error:
chmod 755 ./install-linux
Just run this to run the installer:
./install-linux
Follow the instructions shown on the screen.
Linux Installation with Systemd Service
First, you will need to jump to the place where you want to put the code, we will use /home/gosora/src/ here, but if you want to use something else, then you'll have to modify the service file with your own path (but never in a folder where the files are automatically served by a webserver).
If you place it in /www/, /public_html/ or any similar folder, then there's a chance that your server might be compromised.
The following commands will pull the latest copy of Gosora off the Git repository, will create a user account to run Gosora as, will set it as the owner of the files and will start the installation process.
If you're just casually setting up an installation on your own machine which isn't exposed to the internet just to try out Gosora, then you might not need to setup a seperate account for it or do chmod 2775 logs.
Please type the following commands into the console and hit enter:
cd /home/
useradd gosora
passwd gosora
Type in a strong password for the gosora user, please oh please... Don't use "password", just... don't, okay?
mkdir gosora
cd gosora
git clone https://github.com/Azareal/Gosora
mv Gosora src
chown -R gosora ../gosora
chgrp -R www-data ../gosora
cd src
chmod 2775 logs
chmod 755 ./install-linux
./install-linux
Follow the instructions shown on the screen.
You will also want to setup a service to manage Gosora more easily, although this will require administrator priviledges on the machine:
chmod 755 ./pre-run-linux
cp ./gosora_example.service /lib/systemd/system/gosora.service
systemctl daemon-reload
Advanced Installation
This section explains how to set things up without running the batch or shell files. For Windows, you will likely have to open up cmd.exe (the app called Command Prompt in Win10) to run these commands inside or something similar, while with Linux you would likely use the Terminal or console.
Linux is similar, however you might need to use cd and mv a bit more like in the shell files due to the differences in go build across platforms. Additionally, Linux doesn't require StackExchange/wmi or /x/sys/windows
You also need to substitute the gosora.exe bits for ./Gosora on Linux. For more info, you might want to take a gander inside the ./run-linux and ./install-linux shell files to see how they're implemented.
If you want to skip typing all the go gets, you can run ./update-deps.bat (Windows) or ./update-deps-linux to do that for you.

I'm looking into minimising the number of go gets for the advanced build and to maybe remove the platform and database engine specific dependencies if possible for those who don't need them.
If systemd gives you no permission errors, then make sure you chown, chgrp and chmod the files and folders appropriately.
