<h1>Fresh Install</h1>
It's extremely easy to set up eAthena, just follow these simple steps.
<ol>
	<li>Edit motd.txt, grf-files.txt and the .conf files in your /conf/ folder as you see fit</li>
	<li>If you want to add a user, run adduser.exe in the main eAthena directory before starting the server.</li>
	<li>Run runserver.bat or runserver-sql.bat (depending on which storage system you're using, or you could run login-server.exe, char-server.exe, and map-server.exe manually)</li>
	<li>Give people your IP address (can be found at <a href="http://www.whatismyip.com">http://www.whatismyip.com</a>) to people to add in their sclientinfo.xml</li>
	<li>You're done!</li>

<h1>Upgrading</h1>
When you're changing versions of eAthena, it is important to keep your saved files in tact. Locate the files (/save/ in TXT, your SQL databse in SQL) and make a back up.
You also might want to back up any changes you did to eAthena, such as custom sprites/items, open-source changes.
After backing it up, change motd.txt, grf-files.txt, and the .conf files in the /conf/ folder to your old settings. It is
important that you use a fresh eAthena, as it changes in structure and many files will have different formats over time.
Put your backed up files back in, and run eAthena like you normally would.
