	This flag is necessary for Ansible to ask for the sudo password when using the non-root option as documented in the `hosts` file. Otherwise, Ansible errors out with `missing sudo password`.

| # Installing
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you've [configured your DNS](configuring-dns.md) and have [configured the playbook](configuring-playbook.md), you can start the installation procedure.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Run this as-is to set up a server:
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=setup-all
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Note**: if you don't use SSH keys for authentication, but rather a regular password, you may need to add `--ask-pass` to the above (and all other) Ansible commands.
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Note**: if you **do** use SSH keys for authentication, **and** use a non-root user to *become* root (sudo), you may need to add `-K` (`--ask-become-pass`) to the above (and all other) Ansible commands.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The above command **doesn't start any services just yet** (another step does this later - below).
 | |
| 
 | |
| Feel free to **re-run this setup command any time** you think something is off with the server configuration.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Things you might want to do after installing
 | |
| 
 | |
| After installing, but before starting the services, you may want to do additional things like:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - [Importing an existing SQLite database (from another installation)](importing-sqlite.md) (optional)
 | |
| 
 | |
| - [Importing an existing Postgres database (from another installation)](importing-postgres.md) (optional)
 | |
| 
 | |
| - [Importing `media_store` data files from an existing installation](importing-media-store.md) (optional)
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Starting the services
 | |
| 
 | |
| When you're ready to start the Matrix services (and set them up to auto-start in the future):
 | |
| 
 | |
| ```bash
 | |
| ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts setup.yml --tags=start
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now that the services are running, you might want to:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - **finalize the installation process** (required for federation to work!) by [Configuring Service Discovery via .well-known](configuring-well-known.md)
 | |
| - or [create your first user account](registering-users.md)
 | |
| - or [set up the Dimension Integrations Manager](configuring-playbook-dimension.md)
 | |
| - or [check if services work](maintenance-checking-services.md)
 | |
| - or learn how to [upgrade your services when new versions are released](maintenance-upgrading-services.md)
 | |
| - or learn how to [migrate to another server](maintenance-migrating.md)
