+h2(#database). Set up the database
+
+Generate a new database password. Nobody ever needs to memorize it or type it, so make a strong one:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**128).to_s(36)'</span>
+abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345689
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Create a new database user with permission to create its own databases.
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb --encrypted -R -S --pwprompt arvados_sso</span>
+Enter password for new role: <span class="userinput">paste-database-password-you-generated</span>
+Enter it again: <span class="userinput">paste-database-password-you-generated</span>
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Configure SSO server to connect to your database by creating and updating @config/database.yml@. Replace the @xxxxxxxx@ database password placeholders with the new password you generated above. If you are planning a production system, update the @production@ section, otherwise use @development@.
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/database.yml.example config/database.yml</span>
+~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">edit config/database.yml</span>
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Create and initialize the database. If you are planning a production system, choose the @production@ rails environment, otherwise use @development@.
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:setup</span>
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Alternatively, if the database user you intend to use for the SSO server is not allowed to create new databases, you can create the database first and then populate it with rake. Be sure to adjust the database name if you are using the @development@ environment. This sequence of commands is functionally equivalent to the rake db:setup command above:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">sudo -u postgres createdb arvados_sso_production -E UTF8 -O arvados_sso -T template0</span>
+~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:schema:load</span>
+~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:seed</span>
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+h2(#client). Create arvados-server client
+
+Use @rails console@ to create a @Client@ record that will be used by the Arvados API server. The values of @app_id@ and @app_secret@ correspond to the values for @sso_app_id@ and @sso_app_secret@ in the "API server's SSO settings.":install-api-server.html#omniauth

+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'</span>
+xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console</span>
+:001 > <span class="userinput">c = Client.new</span>
+:002 > <span class="userinput">c.name = "joshid"</span>
+:003 > <span class="userinput">c.app_id = "arvados-server"</span>
+:004 > <span class="userinput">c.app_secret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"</span>
+:005 > <span class="userinput">c.save!</span>
+:006 > <span class="userinput">quit</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+h2(#assets). Precompile assets
+
+If you are running in the production environment, you must precompile the assets:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
