### Checking archive files for existence, readability and integrity.

automysqlbackup ... exists and is readable ... md5sum okay :)
automysqlbackup.conf ... exists and is readable ... md5sum okay :)
README ... exists and is readable ... md5sum okay :)
LICENSE ... exists and is readable ... md5sum okay :)

Select the global configuration directory [/etc/automysqlbackup]:
Select directory for the executable [/usr/local/bin]:
### Creating global configuration directory /etc/automysqlbackup:

success</pre>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><div>
You can use the default paths for the global configuration directory and the directory for the executable. You just have to press Enter when the paths are required.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next, we have to configure AutoMySQLBackup. Open its configuration file located in the directory we set when we ran the installation script.</div>
<div>

</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 26px;"><div>
Once you are done with editing, save the configuration file. All settings are optional and there is description for all of them, so it is best to check the configuration file for more information about the settings of AutoMySQLBackup.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Create a directory for the MySQL backups. This is the directory we set as ‘backup_dir’ in the configuration file.</div>
