+# Installing bigchainDB on LXC containers using LXD
+
+You can visit this link to install LXD (instructions here): [LXD Install](https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/getting-started-cli/)
+
+(assumption is that you are using Ubuntu 14.04 for host/container)
+
+Let us create an LXC container (via LXD) with the following command:
+
+`lxc launch ubuntu:14.04 bigchaindb`
+
+(ubuntu:14.04 - this is the remote server the command fetches the image from)
+(bigchaindb - is the name of the container)
+
+Below is the `install.sh` script you will need to install bigchainDB within your container.
+
+Here is my `install.sh`:
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+set -ex
+export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
+apt-get install -y wget
+source /etc/lsb-release && echo "deb http://download.rethinkdb.com/apt $DISTRIB_CODENAME main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rethinkdb.list
+wget -qO- https://download.rethinkdb.com/apt/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+apt-get update
+apt-get install -y rethinkdb python3-pip
+pip3 install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
+pip install ptpython bigchaindb
+```
+
+Copy/Paste the above `install.sh` into the directory/path you are going to execute your LXD commands from (ie. the host).
+
+Make sure your container is running by typing:
+
+`lxc list`
+
+Now, from the host (and the correct directory) where you saved `install.sh`, run this command:
+
+`cat install.sh | lxc exec bigchaindb /bin/bash`
+
+If you followed the commands correctly, you will have successfully created an LXC container (using LXD) that can get you up and running with bigchainDB in <5 minutes (depending on how long it takes to download all the packages).
+
+From this point onwards, you can follow the [Python Example](https://bigchaindb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/drivers-clients/python-server-api-examples.html) .
