## quick start
1. Get propellor installed on your laptop.
1. Get propellor installed on your development machine (ie, laptop).
`cabal install propellor`
or
`apt-get install propellor`
2. Run propellor for the first time. It will set up a `~/.propellor/` git
2. Run `propellor` for the first time. It will set up a `~/.propellor/` git
repository for you.
3. If you don't have a gpg private key already, generate one: `gpg --gen-key`
4. Run: `propellor --add-key $KEYID`, which will make propellor trust
your gpg key, and will sign your `~/.propellor` repository using it.
5. Edit `~/.propellor/config.hs`, and add a host you want to manage.
You can start by not adding any properties, or only a few.
6. Pick a host and run: `propellor --spin $HOST`
6. Run: `propellor --spin $HOST`
7. Now you have a simple propellor deployment, but it doesn't do
much to the host yet, besides installing propellor.
So, edit `~/.propellor/config.hs` to configure the host (maybe
start with a few simple properties), and re-run step 6.
So, edit `~/.propellor/config.hs` to configure the host, add some
properties to it, and re-run step 6.
Repeat until happy and move on to the next host. :)
8. Optionally, set up a [centralized git repository](https://propellor.branchable.com/centralized_git_repository/)
so multiple hosts can be updated with a simple `git commit -S; git push`
so that multiple hosts can be updated with a simple `git commit -S; git push`
9. Write some neat new properties and send patches!
