- Creates `/home/zulip/deployments/`, which the Zulip code for this

## Details: What the installer does
The install script does several things:
- Creates the `zulip` user, which the various Zulip servers will run as.
- Creates `/home/zulip/deployments/`, which the Zulip code for this
deployment (and future deployments when you upgrade) goes into. At the
very end of the install process, the script moves the Zulip code tree
it's running from (which you unpacked from a tarball above) to a
directory there, and makes `/home/zulip/deployments/current` as a
symbolic link to it.
- Installs Zulip's various dependencies.
- Configures the various third-party services Zulip uses, including
PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Memcached and Redis.
- Initializes Zulip's database.

machines, check out our [deployment options documentation](deployment.md).
