To simplify installation and maintenance of a morty instance you can use the script utils/morty.sh. In most cases you will install morty simply by running the command:

sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh install all

The script adds a ${SERVICE_USER} (default:morty) and installs morty into this user account:

1. Create a separated user account (morty).
2. Download and install Go binary in user's $HOME (~morty).
3. Install morty with the package management from Go (go get -v -u github.com/asciimoo/morty)
4. Setup a systemd service unit [ref] <utils/templates/lib/systemd/system/morty.service> (/lib/systemd/system/morty.service).

Hint

To add morty to your searx instance read chapter searx morty.
