> # mbsetup - The Setup Program

> ### Synopsis.

> `mbsetup`

> ### Description.

> mbsetup is the setup program for MBSE BBS. It should be run only by user mbse. If you run it by accident as root file permissions will be wrong and your bbs may not function. For a detailed description of all setup options see MBSE BBS Setup Guide

> ### Environment.

> In order to run mbsetup you must set the global variable $MBSE_ROOT. This variable must point to the root directory of the bbs structure. The main configuration file config.data must be present in the ~/etc directory. If it is not present, ie you run mbsetup for the first time, a default config.data will be created. This will also happen with several other databases.
