# Accessing Liferay Portal documentation

Because the Discovery Framework is built upon the Liferay Portal, you can access Liferay's documentation for more information about how to perform various tasks.

Specifically, the Liferay Portal Administrator's Guide provides extensive information about installing, configuring, and maintaining a portal. To access a free PDF download of this guide, go to http://www.liferay.com and navigate to the Docs & Resources section.

In addition to its formal administrator documentation, Liferay offers developer assistance in the form of blogs, wikis, and forums. To access these resources, go to http://www.liferay.com and navigate to the Community section.
