## Configuring
To configure your new install, make sure that you've loaded the wiki in your browser at least once. Then open `peppermint.json` in your favourite text editor. If you need any help, just contact me or [open an issue](//github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/issues/new).
Please note that configuration of Pepperminty Wiki will be done through a GUI soon.
~~Please note that configuration of Pepperminty Wiki will be done through a GUI soon.~~ _Most_ properties are now configurable in a graphical interface! It can be accessed through the _Edit Master Settings_ option in the more menu, or the `configure` action (e.g. `https://wiki.example.com/?action=configure`) if it doesn't appear for you.
The [configuration guide](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php) are all the configuration directives that Pepperminty Wiki (and all the modules included in the repository) understand. It is generated automatically from `peppermint.guiconfig.json`.

### User Accounts
User account details are currently stored as an object in `peppermint.json`, under the `users` special setting. Each user has their own object, in which lies their user data.
While users can change their own passwords and email addresses, you'll inevitably want to add your own users. Here's how:
1. Open `peppermint.json` in your favourite text editor.
2. Create a new property on the `users` object, whose value is an object and key is the new user's username. Use the existing users for reference.
3. Hash the new user's password with SHA256, and set it as the `password` parameter on the new user. This can be done in the terminal, online, or with the `hash` action - but make sure you don't leave any traces of your passwords lying around for others to find!
4. Save `peppermint.json` back to disk.
In the future, user accounts will be manageable through a graphical interface. Follow #127 for updates!
## API Reference
I have documented the current API and other things that make Pepperminty Wiki tick that you can use to create your own modules. You can find this documentation in the [Module_API_Docs.md](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/blob/master/Module_API_Docs.md) file in this repository.
