##What's Countly? Countly is an innovative, real-time, open source mobile analytics application. It collects data from mobile phones, tablets and other internet-connected devices, and visualizes this information to analyze mobile application usage and end-user behavior. There are two parts of Countly: the server that collects and analyzes data, and mobile SDK that sends this data.

##Which mobile operating systems does Countly support?

Countly supports top-notch devices, including iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Blackberry. Below you can find Countly SDK repositories. Each SDK has its own installation instructions.

##How do I install Countly server?

You can either download all files from Sourceforge, or get code from Github (this page).

We provide a beautiful installation sript (bin/countly.install.sh) with countly-server package that installs and configures everything required to run Countly Server.
