36     /usr/local/lbbs/conf/bbsd.conf       $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/bbsd.conf  
37     /usr/local/lbbs/utils/conf/db_conn.inc.php       $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/badwords.conf  
38       $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/conf/db_conn.conf.php  
39    
40    8) Copy CA cert file of MySQL server to $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/ca_cert.pem  
41    
42    9) Generate menu configuration file with section data by running the script  
43       sudo -u bbs php $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/bin/gen_section_menu.php  
44       sudo -u bbs php $LBBS_HOME_DIR/utils/bin/gen_ex_list.php  
45    
46    10) Create SSH2 RSA certificate  
47       ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "Your Server Name" -f $LBBS_HOME_DIR/conf/ssh_host_rsa_key
48    
49    11) Startup  
50       sudo -u bbs $LBBS_HOME_DIR/bin/bbsd
51    
52    12) (Optional) Set up systemd  
53       Enable systemd related feature during config, by running:  
54         ./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR --enable-systemd
55       Create your own /usr/lib/systemd/system/lbbs.service from the sample at conf/lbbs.service, and make any change if necessary.  
56       Reload daemon config and start the service.  
57    
58  7) Generate menu configuration file with section data by running the script    13) (Optional) Set up logrotate  
59     sudo -u bbs php /usr/local/lbbs/utils/bin/gen_section_menu.php       Create your own /etc/logrotate.d/lbbs from the sample at conf/lbbs.logrotate, and make any change if necessary.  
60     sudo -u bbs php /usr/local/lbbs/utils/bin/gen_ex_list.php       Restart logrotate service.  
61    
62    14) Cleanup on abnormal service termination  
63       In case of any unexpected failure or improper operation which results in abnormal termination of lbbs process, manual cleanup of shared memory / semaphore might be required before re-launch the process. Run the following command to check first:  
64       sudo -u bbs ipcs  
65       There should be no item owned by bbs. Otherwise, run the following command to cleanup:  
66       sudo -u bbs ipcrm -a
67    
 8) Create or copy SSH2 RSA certificate into /usr/local/lbbs/conf    
    ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "Your Server Name" -f ssh_host_rsa_key  
68    
69  9) Startup    For MSYS2 User
70     sudo /usr/local/lbbs/bin/bbsd  ==================
71    Installation of LBBS on MSYS2 is similar to the above steps for Linux, except that:
72    
73    1) Use additional config switches to keep compatible with the MSYS2 environment.  
74       ./configure --prefix=$LBBS_HOME_DIR --with-mariadb --with-iconv --without-epoll --without-sysv --disable-shared  
75    
76    2) Skip those steps not supported (e.g. systemd and logrotate).  
77    
 10) Set up systemd    
    Create your own /usr/lib/systemd/system/lbbs.service from the sample at conf/lbbs.service.default, and make any change if necessary.    
    Reload daemon config and start the service.
