NAME
gnunet-setup - a gtk interface for configuring GNUnet
SYNOPSIS
gnunet-setup [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
gnunet-setup is a gtk+ based GUI for configuring GNUnet.
The first time you run gnunet-setup, the goal will typically be to configure the peer, that is, the set
of processes that always run in the background. Those processes should run as user "gnunet" and thus
gnunet-setup should be run as user "gnunet" for this step. Use the "-e" option to enable automatic
privilege escalation using gksu (if supported by your system). Alternatively, you can of course run
gnunet-setup from the "gnunet" system user account or even as "root". If you see a tab "General", you
did start gnunet-setup correctly to configure the peer. You should now be able to configure which
subsystems of GNUnet you want to enable, which databases to use and what your network configuration looks
like. After these steps are complete, you should be able to start your peer using "gnunet-arm".
It is recommended that "/etc/gnunet.conf" should be a world-readable copy of the peer's GNUnet
configuration. Note that GNUnet configuration files (as generated by gnunet-setup) only contain those
values that differ from the defaults. Also note that "gnunet-arm" will by default look for a
configuration in "$HOME/.config/gnunet.conf" (or, "$XDG_CONFIG_DIR/gnunet.conf" if "$XDG_CONFIG_DIR" is
set); thus, if your configuration is in "/etc/gnunet.conf", you have to pass "-c /etc/gnunet.conf" to
gnunet-arm or set "$XDG_CONFIG_DIR" to "/etc/".
-a, --autoconfig
try to automatically configure networking for the peer without starting the interactive GUI
-c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME
load config file (default: ~/.config/gnunet.conf)
-e, --elevate-privileges
Try to elevate privileges to run gnunet-setup as user "gnunet". This option is only available if
libgksu-support was found on your system. It is ignored if gnunet-setup is run as user "root" or
"gnunet" already. If "gksu" fails, gnunet-setup is run as the current user.
-h, --help
print help page
-v, --version
print the version number
NOTES
Many options in gnunet-setup are documented online. Access the online help by first selecting the
respective widget and then clicking on the link at the bottom of the dialog.
Exiting gnunet-setup (by closing the window or pressing ESCape) always saves the current configuration to
disk.
