## Setup
### Configuring PostgreSQL
#### (Optional) Installing RUM indexes
-RUM indexes are an alternative indexing scheme that is not included in PostgreSQL by default. You can read more about them on the [Configuration page](config.html#rum-indexing-for-full-text-search). They are completely optional and most of the time are not worth it, especially if you are running a single user instance (unless you absolutely need ordered search results).

Debian/Ubuntu (available only on Buster/19.04):
```sh
```sh
su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl user set admin --admin"
```
+
+## Create your first user and set as admin
+```sh
+cd /opt/pleroma/bin
+su pleroma -s $SHELL -lc "./bin/pleroma_ctl user new joeuser joeuser@sld.tld --admin"
+```
+This will create an account withe the username of 'joeuser' with the email address of joeuser@sld.tld, and set that user's account as an admin. This will result in a link that you can paste into the browser, which logs you in and enables you to set the password.

### Updating
Generally, doing the following is enough:
```sh
But you should **always check the release notes/changelog** in case there are config deprecations, special update steps, etc.
