+HHVM is an open-source virtual machine designed for executing
+programs written in Hack and PHP. HHVM uses a just-in-time (JIT)
+compilation approach to achieve superior performance while maintaining
+the development flexibility that PHP provides.
+
+Hack is a programming language for HHVM. Hack reconciles the fast
+development cycle of a dynamically typed language with the discipline
+provided by static typing, while adding many features commonly found
+in other modern programming languages.
+
+Please note that HHVM is unsupported on 32-bit OSes and there are no
+current plans to ever add support.
+
+In order to start HHVM at boot and stop it properly at shutdown,
+make sure rc.hhvm is executable and add the following lines to
+the following files:
+
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+ ==================
+ # Startup HHVM
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hhvm ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.hhvm start
+ fi
+
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+ ===========================
+ # Stop HHVM
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.hhvm ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.hhvm stop
+ fi
+
+Default HHVM configuration uses Unix sockets. If you don't use Apache make sure that your
+web server has write access to the socket file. You can create a new group and add
+your web server user to this group or just use the main group of your web server and
+start HHVM as following:
+ hhvm_GROUP=apache /etc/rc.d/rc.hhvm start
+
+FastCGI must be configured to communicate with HHVM.
+A good start point is: https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/wiki/FastCGI
+
+To start a project you have to configure the type checker as well.
+See the official documentation: http://docs.hhvm.com/manual/en/install.hack.bootstrapping.php
+Basically you create an empty .hhconfig file in the root directory of your project:
+ touch .hhconfig
+and run:
+ hh_client
+
+Happy Hacking!
