-# Navigate to http://example.net/FreshRSS to complete the installation
-# (If you do it from localhost, you may have to adjust the setting of your public address later)

-cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
-sudo git pull
-sudo chown -R :www-data . && sudo chmod -R g+r . && sudo chmod -R g+w ./data/
-```
-
-See more commands and git commands in the [Command-Line Interface documentation](cli/README.md).
-
-## Access control
-This is needed if you will be using the multi-user mode, to limit access to FreshRSS. Options Available:
-* form authentication (needs JavaScript, and PHP 5.5+ recommended)
-* HTTP authentication supported by your web server
- * See [Apache documentation](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/howto/auth.html)
- * In that case, create a `./p/i/.htaccess` file with a matching `.htpasswd` file.
-
-## Automatic feed update
-* You can add a Cron job to launch the update script.
-Check the Cron documentation related to your distribution ([Debian/Ubuntu](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto), [Red Hat/Fedora](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Administration_Guide_Draft/Cron), [Slackware](https://docs.slackware.com/fr:slackbook:process_control?#cron), [Gentoo](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cron), [Arch Linux](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cron)…).
-It is a good idea to run the cron job as the webserver user (often “www-data”).
-For instance, if you want to run the script every hour:
-
-```
-9 * * * * php /usr/share/FreshRSS/app/actualize_script.php > /tmp/FreshRSS.log 2>&1
-```
-
-### Example on Debian / Ubuntu
-Create `/etc/cron.d/FreshRSS` with:
-
-```
-6,36 * * * * www-data php -f /usr/share/FreshRSS/app/actualize_script.php > /tmp/FreshRSS.log 2>&1

## Advice
* For better security, expose only the `./p/` folder to the Web.
* Be aware that the `./data/` folder contains all personal data, so it is a bad idea to expose it.
