+The web server has to be configured to map access to the CGI script. For instance, with Apache:
+```
+
+    Alias /account-manager /usr/local/share/account-managerk/www
+    <Directory /usr/local/share/account-manager/www>
+        Require all granted
+        Options ExecCGI
+        DirectoryIndex account-manager.cgi
+        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
+    </Directory>
+```
+
+Additional directories have to be created for logs and data, with write permission for the web server:
+```
+$> sudo mkdir /var/log/account-manager
+$> sudo mkdir /var/lib/account-manager
+$> sudo chown apache.apache /var/log/account-manager
+$> sudo chown apache.apache /var/lib/account-manager
+```
+
+The application has to be properly configured, using the installed ```manager.conf``` file.
+
+A cron task has to be set for downloading federation metadata. For instance:
+```
+# download eduGAIN metadata hourly
+01 * * * * root curl --silent http://mds.edugain.org/ -o /var/lib/account-manager/edugain.xml
+```
+
+Another cron task has to be set for purging expired tokens and accounts. For instance:
+```
+# purge expired tokens hourly
+01 * * * * root /usr/local/bin/account-manager.pl list_tokens --expired --delete > /dev/null
+# purge expired accounts daily
+02 0 * * * root /usr/local/bin/account-manager.pl list_accounts --expired --delete > /dev/null
