# Tako
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/tako.sh)
## What is Tako?
Ship apps to your own servers without turning deployment into a part-time job.
Tako gives you the "upload files, refresh, done" feeling with modern guardrails: rolling deploys, load balancing, HTTPS, secrets, and logs out of the box.
Tako is not just a deployment tool. The vision is a self-hosted application platform: the backend for your backend.
Deployment is the starting point, not the finish line. Over time, Tako should provide the core primitives teams end up rebuilding in every stack: durable channels, workflows, and other platform capabilities built into one tool instead of stitched together from many.
## Install
Install the CLI:
```bash
curl -fsSL https://tako.sh/install.sh | sh
```
Verify:
```bash
tako --version
```
Start local development from your app directory:
```bash
bun add tako.sh # or: npm install tako.sh
tako dev
```
Set up a deployment host:
```bash
sudo sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://tako.sh/install-server.sh)"
tako servers add
```
Deploy your app:
```bash
tako init # prompts for app name + production route, writes tako.toml, updates .gitignore for .tako/secrets.json
tako servers add
tako deploy
```
