| 55 After installing SàT, you need to install the media:: | |
| 56 | |
| 57 $ cd | |
| 58 $ hg clone https://repos.goffi.org/sat_media | |
| 59 | |
| 60 then, create the file ~/.config/sat/sat.conf containing: | |

| 62 .. sourcecode:: cfg | |
| 63 | |
| 64 [DEFAULT] | |
| 65 media_dir = ~/sat_media | |
| 66 | |
| 67 Of course, replace ``~/sat_media`` with the actual path you have used. | |

| 71 Usage | |
| 72 ===== | |
| 73 | |
| 74 To launch the sat backend, enter:: | |
| 75 | |
| 76 $ sat | |
| 77 | |
| 78 …or, if you want to launch it in foreground:: | |
| 79 | |
| 80 $ sat fg | |
| 81 | |
| 82 You can stop it with:: | |
| 83 | |
| 84 $ sat stop | |
| 85 | |
| 86 To know if backend is launched or not:: | |
| 87 | |
| 88 $ sat status | |
| 89 | |
| 90 **NOTE**: since SàT v0.5.0, the backend is automatically launched when a frontend needs it. | |
| 91 | |
| 92 You can check that SàT is installed correctly by trying jp (the backend need to be launched first, check below):: | |
| 93 | |
| 94 $ jp --version | |
