+You need to provide some configuration files that contain the default entries for the data server. This includes things like the users, servers and their locations, and instrument details. This is detailed in the Configuration docs.

+
+On the first run of ICDataServer, you'll need to setup tables in the database to keep track of all the information you'll be submitting to it. Press enter/return when prompted for a path to the setup files, or you can provide another path.
