<para>
If you have already installed &PyGopherd; system-wide, or your
administrator has done that for you, your task for setting up
&PyGopherd; for the first time is quite simple. You just need
to set up your configuration file, make your folder directory,
and run it!
</para>
<para>
You can quickly set up your configuration file. The
distribution includes two files of interest:
<filename>conf/pygopherd.conf</filename> and
<filename>conf/mime.types</filename>. Debian users will find
the configuration file pre-installed in
<filename>/etc/pygopherd/pygopherd.conf</filename> and the
<filename>mime.types</filename> file provided by the system
already.
</para>
<para>
Open up <filename>pygopherd.conf</filename> in your editor and
adjust to suit. The file is heavily commented and you can
refer to it for detailed information. Some settings to take a
look at include: <property>detach</property>,
<property>pidfile</property>, <property>port</property>,
<property>usechroot</property>, <property>setuid</property>,
<property>setgid</property>, and <property>root</property>.
These may or may not work at their defaults for you. The
remaining ones should be fine for a basic setup.
</para>
<para>
Invoke &PyGopherd; with <command>pygopherd
path/to/configfile</command> (or
<command>/etc/init.d/pygopherd start</command> on Debian).
Place some files in the location specified by the
<property>root</property> directive in the config file and
you're ready to run!
