## 2. Install Knot DNS
Get the source code:
```bash
git clone https://gitlab.nic.cz/knot/knot-dns.git
```
Or extract source package to knot-dns directory.
Compile the source code:
```bash
cd knot-dns
autoreconf -if
./configure
make
```
Install Knot DNS into system:
```bash
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig
```
# Running
### 1. Ensure some configuration
[doc/configuration.rst](doc/configuration.rst)
Please see [samples/knot.sample.conf](samples/knot.sample.conf),
[project documentation](https://www.knot-dns.cz/documentation/),
or `man 5 knot.conf` for more details. Basically the configuration should specify:
- network interfaces
- served zones
E.g. use the default configuration file:
```bash
cd /etc/knot
mv knot.sample.conf knot.conf
```
Modify the configuration file:
```bash
editor knot.conf
```
### 2. Prepare working directory
```bash
mv example.com.zone /var/lib/knot/
```
### 3. Start the server
[doc/operation.rst](doc/operation.rst)
This can be done by running the `knotd` command. Alternatively, your distribution
should have an init script available, if you installed Knot DNS from a binary package.
Start the server in foreground to see if it runs:
```bash
knotd -c /etc/knot/knot.conf
```
