# Regular setup
This section of the guide will walk you through the various config options and what they do, as well as how to set up a server using `SkyrimTogetherServer.exe`.
It's critical that you've followed the guide so far, so that we're using the same paths. Otherwise, you'll have to figure out the paths for yourself.
If you've followed this guide so far, you can take the same paths the guide does, making everything easier.
