+# Setup and maintenance
+
+The Evennia server is installed, run and maintained from the terminal (console/CMD on Windows). Starting the 
+server doesn't make anything visible online. Once you download everything you can in fact develop your game
+in complete isolation if you want, without needing any access to the internet. 
+
+## Installation
+
+Evennia requires Python3.7+. As with most Python packages, using a
+[virtualenv](../Glossary#Virtualenv) is recommended in order to keep your
+installation independent from the system libraries. 
+
+    pip install evennia
+
+If things worked, the `evennia` command should now be available.
+
+If you are having trouble or want to help develop Evennia itself, check out the
+[Extended Installation instructions](Setup/Extended-Installation). It also has
+a [troubleshooting section](Setup/Extended-Installation#Troubleshooting) for
+different operating systems.
+
+## Initialize a new game
+
+Use `cd` to enter a folder where you want to do your game development. Here (and in 
+the rest of this documentation we call this folder `mygame`, but you should of course 
+name your game whatever you like):
+
+    evennia --init mygame
+
+This will create a new folder `mygame` (or whatever you chose) in your current location. This
+contains 
+
+
+## Start your new game
+
+`cd` into your game folder (`mygame` above). Next run 
+
+    evennia migrate
+
+This will create the default database (Sqlite3). The database file ends up as `mygame/server/evennia.db3`. If you
+ever want to start from a fresh database, just delete this file and re-run `evennia migrate` again.
+
+    evennia start 
+
+Fill in your user-name and password. This will be the "god user" or "superuser" in-game. The email is optional.
+
+If all went well, the server is now up and running. Point a legacy MUD/telnet client to `localhost:4000` or
+a web browser at [http://localhost:4001](http://localhost:4001) to play your new (if empty) game!
+
+> If `localhost` doesn't work on your computer, use `127.0.0.1`, which it's the same thing.
