Naturally, we're biased, so our usual recommendation is to go with this [Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/) playbook, instead of installing Synapse (and many many other things around it) manually. |

This Ansible playbook guides you into installing a server for `example.com` (user identifiers are like this: `@user:example.com`), while the server is at `matrix.example.com`.
