In order for the various synchronization protocols to work, a Web server [must be configured](Web_Server_Configuration), and in order for The Arsse to serve users, those users [must be created](Managing_Users). The following manual pages provide details on how to get this set up.
You may also want to review the `config.defaults.php` file included in the download package and create [a configuration file](/en/Configuring_The_Arsse), though The Arsse can function even without using a configuration file.

SQLite requires very little set-up. By default the database will be created at the root of The Arsse's program directory (e.g. `/usr/share/arsse/arsse.db`), but this can be changed with the [`dbSQLite3File` setting](/en/Configuring_The_Arsse#page_dbSQLite3File).

Regardless of the location chosen, The Arsse **must** be able to both read from and write to the database file, as well as create files in its directory. This is because SQLite also creates a write-ahead log file and a shared-memory file during operation.
If for whatever reason an SQLite database does not suit your configuration, PostgreSQL is the best alternative. It is functionally equivalent to SQLite in every way.

While MySQL can be used as a database for The Arsse, this is **not recommended** due to MySQL's technical limitations. It is fully functional, but may fail with some newsfeeds where other database systems do not. Additionally, it is particularly important before upgrading from one version of The Arsse to the next to back up your database: a failure in a database upgrade can corrupt your database much more easily than when using other database systems.
