 Getting Started
 ===============
 
-The following steps illustrate how to set up a exchange HTTP server.
+Please follow the exchange manual you can view after
-They take as a stub for configuring the exchange the content of 'contrib/exchange-template/config/'.
+installing using
 
-1) Create a 'test/' directory and copy the stubs in it:
+$ info taler-exchange
 
-mkdir -p test/config/
+or by visiting https://docs.taler.net/.
-cp exchange/contrib/exchange-template/config/* test/config/
-cd test/
-
-2) Create the exchange's master with the tool 'gnunet-ecc':
-
-gnunet-ecc -g1 master.priv
-
-3) Edit config/exchange-common.conf by replacing the right value on the line with the
-MASTER_PUBLIC_KEY entry with the fresh generated (ASCII version of) master.priv.
-This ASCII version is obtained by issuing:
-
-gnunet-ecc -p master.priv
-
-4) Generate other exchange related keys ('denomination' and 'signing' keys), by issuing:
-
-taler-exchange-keyup -m master.priv -o auditor.in
-
-5) A exchange needs a database to operate, so the following instructions relate to
-how to set up PostgreSQL. On debian, the two packages needed are:
-
-* postgresql
-* postgresql-client
-
-For other operating systems, please refer to the relevant documentation.
-
-In this settlement, the exchange will use a database called 'talercheck' and will
-run under the username through which 'taler-exchange-httpd' is launched. Thus assuming
-that this user is 'demo', we need to create a 'demo' role for postgresql and make
-him the owner of 'talercheck' database.
-
-To perform these administrative tasks we have to impersonate the 'postgres' (by default,
-postgres installation assigns privileges to such a user) user, then connect to the running DBMS.
-Issue the following:
-
-su # give your root password
-su - postgres
-psql # this is the command-line client to the DMBS
-# the following lines are SQL
-CREATE USER demo;
-CREATE DATABASE talercheck OWNER demo;
-# quit with CTRL-D
-
-7) If any previous step has been successful, it is now possbile to start up the
-exchange web server (by default it will listen on port 4241); issue:
-
-
-taler-exchange-httpd -d `pwd` # assuming we did not move outside of the 'test' directory
