# Getting started

### Mac OS

For Mac OS the easiest path to installation is to install through Homebrew.

#### Client

    brew install jhalter/mobius-hotline-client/mobius-hotline-client

After installation `mobius-hotline-client` installed to `/usr/local/bin/mobius-hotline-client` and should be in your $PATH. 

The client config file is in `/usr/local/etc/mobius-client-config.yaml`

Run `mobius-hotline-client -help` for usage options.

#### Server

    brew install jhalter/mobius-hotline-server/mobius-hotline-server

After installation `mobius-hotline-server` installed to `/usr/local/bin/mobius-hotline-server` and should be in your $PATH.

The server config file directory is under `/usr/local/var/mobius` which by default contains:

    /usr/local/var/mobius/config/MessageBoard.txt
    /usr/local/var/mobius/config/config.yaml
    /usr/local/var/mobius/config/ThreadedNews.yaml
    /usr/local/var/mobius/config/Agreement.txt
    /usr/local/var/mobius/config/Users/guest.yaml
    /usr/local/var/mobius/config/Users/admin.yaml

Edit `/usr/local/var/mobius/config/config.yaml` to change your server name and other settings.
