Setup wizard

The setup wizard helps administrators configure EventDirector without editing every file manually.

Open the wizard​

/eventdirector setup

or, if aliases are enabled:

/ed setup

When to use it​

Use the setup wizard:

  • after the first installation;
  • after a major update;
  • when generated files are missing;
  • when you want to review core options;
  • before setting up real public events.

Before using the wizard​

If the server already has event configurations, create a backup first:

/eventdirector backup create before-setup-wizard

What the wizard may configure​

Depending on the build, the wizard can help with:

  • default settings;
  • event folders;
  • messages;
  • GUI behavior;
  • backup settings;
  • safe mode settings;
  • update checks;
  • basic validation.

After completing the wizard​

After the setup wizard finishes:

  1. check the console;
  2. run /eventdirector version;
  3. open the admin GUI;
  4. create a backup;
  5. test a simple event.
tip

Use the setup wizard as a starting point. For advanced events, you may still need to edit configuration files manually.
