How to install?

with the default configuration. It is strongly recommended that you
add a user "gnunet" to run "gnunet-arm". You can then still run the

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
the SERVICEHOME option in section "[PATHS]" to "/var/lib/gnunet" to
do this. Depending on your personal preferences, you may also want to
use "/etc/gnunet.conf" for the location of the configuration file in
