-# gnunet-setup -d
-# gnunetd
-
-This will compile and install GNUnet to ~/bin/, ~/lib/ and ~/man/.
-gnunet-setup will create the daemon configuration (-d); this step is
-interactive. You can run gnunet-setup as root for a system-wide
-installation or as a particular user to create a personal
-installation. If you do not want to run gnunetd as root, gnunet-setup
-can be used to add a user "gnunet". Data will then be stored in
-/var/lib/GNUnet and gnunetd will run as that user. Note that
-additional, per-user configuration files (~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf) also
-need to be created by each user by running gnunet-setup without the -d
-option. Depending on your operating system the wizards of
-gnunet-setup can also be used to create an init script that starts
-gnunetd each time the system boots. For more general information
-about the GNU build process read the INSTALL file.

-GNUnet requires the GNU MP library (http://www.gnu.org/software/gmp/)
-and libgcrypt. You can specify the path to libgcrypt by passing
-"--with-gcrypt=PATH" to configure. You will also need either sqlite
-(version 3 or higher) or MySQL (version 5.0 or higher).
+# sudo -u gnunet mkdir ~/.gnunet/
+# sudo -u gnunet touch ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf
+# sudo -u gnunet gnunet-arm -s
+
+This will create the users and groups needed for running GNUnet
+securely and then compile and install GNUnet to $GNUNET_PREFIX/bin/,
+$GNUNET_PREFIX/lib/ and $GNUNET_PREFIX/share/ and start the system
+with the default configuration. It is strongly recommended that you
+add a user "gnunet" to run "gnunet-arm". You can then still run the
+end-user applications as another user.
+
+If you create a system user "gnunet", it is recommended that you edit
+the configuration file slightly so that data can be stored in the
+system user home directory at "/var/lib/gnunet"; you may also want to
+use "/etc/gnunet.conf" for the location of the configuration file in
+this case.
+
+You can avoid running 'make install' as root if you run configure
+with the "--with-sudo=yes" option and have extensive sudo rights
+(can run "chmod +s" and "chown" via 'sudo'). If you run 'make install'
+as a normal user without sudo rights (or the configure option),
+certain binaries that require additional priviledges will not be
+installed properly (and autonomous NAT traversal, WLAN, DNS/GNS and
+the VPN will then not work).
+
+Note that additional, per-user configuration files
+(~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf) need to be created by each user (for example,
+by running gnunet-setup). Note that gnunet-setup is a separate
+download and requires recent versions of GTK+ and Glade; you can also
+edit the configuration file by hand, but this is not recommended. For
+more general information about the GNU build process read the INSTALL
+file.
