<H>Initial setup</H>

1. Copy the tar.gz file from the download page to some folder and unpack it with tar -zxf filename.

2. Open a terminal, change to that folder and get superuser rights by running "su"

3. As root, run "./aes-install.sh"

4. As root, run "service aes start" to start the service, and "chkconfig --add aes on" to make the service start on boot. Be careful, when you start the service the sytem MAY go to sleep when you don't expect it.

5a. Navigate to /usr/bin/aes and run "./aes.rb --shownetworkhosts" to show and select to add any currently active network host to the list of monitored hosts. Run "./aes.rb --showmonitoredhosts" to check the monitored hosts and delete the ones you want to remove.

5b. For experts: As root, navigate to /usr/bin/aes and have a look at the log file. Modify aes_monitoredhosts to add more host to be monitored. When you are finished and have saved the file, you may run "service aes restart" and check the file again. If it looks ok, aes has understood it correctly, otherwise edit again.
