+Configure the database:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/arvados/services/api$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml</span>
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+By default, the development database will use the sqlite3 driver, so no configuration is necessary. If you wish to use mysql or postgres, edit @config/database.yml@ to your liking and make sure the database and db user exist. Then initialize the database:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/arvados/services/api$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=development bundle exec rake db:setup</span>
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Set up omniauth:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~/arvados/services/api$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/initializers/omniauth.rb.example config/initializers/omniauth.rb
+</code></pre></notextile>
+
+Edit @config/initializers/omniauth.rb@. Set @APP_SECRET@ to the value of @app_secret@ from "installing the single sign on server":install-sso.html .
