 ===== Manual installation =====
+<WRAP indent>
+  - Use the ReadyNAS UI to create an SMB/SAMBA file share called "HDHomeRun", accessible to "everyone". Disable snapshots for that volume.
+  - Enable SSH (Settings -> Services -> SSH) and logging in as root.
+  - <wrapper>Log into your ReadyNAS via SSH and issue the following commands. This will create an apps directory for the hdhomerun_record software and download it to that location.
+<code>mkdir -p /apps/hdhomerun_record/bin
+cd /apps/hdhomerun_record/bin
+wget https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_record_linux
+chmod +x hdhomerun_record_linux
+./hdhomerun_record_linux start
+mv /tmp/hdhomerun_record_* hdhomerun_record
+chmod 755 hdhomerun_record
+chown root:root hdhomerun_record
+rm hdhomerun_record_linux</code></wrapper>
+  - <wrapper>Create the HDHomeRun DVR configuration file.  Update the RecordPath to the record path you configured in your NAS.
+<code>cd /apps/hdhomerun_record
+cat <<EOF >hdhomerun.conf
+RecordPath=/data/HDHomeRun
+EOF</code></wrapper>
+  - <wrapper>Start the HDHomeRun DVR software to see if it's working
+<code>/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record start --conf /apps/hdhomerun_record/hdhomerun.conf</code>
+If it's working properly you should find a log file in /data/HDHomeRun, and a process in the process list. </wrapper>
+  - <wrapper>Stop the process before setting up the start script.
+<code>/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record stop</code></wrapper>
+  - <wrapper>Copy and paste the following to create the service file to automatically start the DVR software:
+<code>
+cat <<EOF > /lib/systemd/system/hdhomerun.service
+[Unit]
+Description=HDHomeRun DVR Service
+After=network-up.service
+[Service]
+Type=oneshot
+ExecStart=/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record start --conf /apps/hdhomerun_record/hdhomerun.conf
+ExecStop=/apps/hdhomerun_record/bin/hdhomerun_record stop --conf /apps/hdhomerun_record/hdhomerun.conf
+RemainAfterExit=true
+Nice=-1
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EOF
+</code></wrapper>
+  - <wrapper>Now enable and start the DVR software:
+<code>systemctl enable hdhomerun
+systemctl start hdhomerun</code></wrapper>
+  - Restart the NAS and verify that the DVR remains available by checking the HDHomeRun app.
+  - If everything is working, you can go and disable SSH (Settings -> Services -> SSH).
