Configuring Lire Using lr_config

After Lire is installed, you can configure it by running the lr_config command. This is an interactive program that asks questions and writes the appropriate variables based on the answers to $sysconf/etc/lire/defaults.local. You need to run the command as a user who has write access to that file. This file can later be modified by hand. You will find the description of all available configuration variables in the reference part of this manual: see Chapter 19.

Additionally, if you want to use the lr_cron command to run periodically Lire through a cron job, you will need to run lr_config to configure it.
