MPD_sima for Debian
===================

LAUNCH AS A DAEMON:
-------------------

MDP_sima is installed as a service (systemd or init.d) running under special
user "mpd-sima".

The process is launched as a daemon with the following configuration and
database files:

	configuration: /etc/mpd-sima.cfg
	database:      /var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db


LAUNCH IT FROM YOUR USER ACCOUNT:
---------------------------------

MPD_sima can also be executed from regular user accounts with mpd-sima command.
The default locations for files in this case are usually users home directory:
	$HOME/{.config/mpd-sima,.local/share/mpd-sima}

Please refer to the manual mpd-sima(1) for further details.

NOTA BENE:
----------

If you run MPD_sima system wide (as a daemon) and you need to edit the database
from another user account with "mpd-sima bl-*" commands, remember it will look
in the current user $HOME directory for the database instead of the location
defined for the daemon (the daemon uses /var/lib/mpd-sima/sima.db).

For instance if you want to use daemon database with your current login user,
ensure your login user is member of mpd-sima group and specify the database
location:

    mpd-sima --var-dir=/var/lib/mpd-sima bl-view
    mpd-sima --var-dir=/var/lib/mpd-sima purge-history
