6. Start the deployment. Return to your terminal. In the Algo directory, run `./algo` and follow the instructions. There are several optional features available. None are required for a fully functional VPN server. These optional features are described in greater detail in [ROLES.md](docs/ROLES.md).

That's it! You will get the message below when the server deployment process completes. You now have an Algo server on the internet. Take note of the p12 (user certificate) password in case you need it later. You can now setup a client to connect it, e.g. your iPhone or laptop. Proceed to [Configure the VPN Clients](https://github.com/trailofbits/algo#configure-the-vpn-clients) below.

Note: If you want to run Algo at any point in the future, you must first "reactivate" the dependencies for it. To reactivate them, open your terminal, use `cd` to navigate to the directory with Algo, then run `source env/bin/activate`. For example, they should be activated before you run the [update-users script](https://github.com/trailofbits/algo#adding-or-removing-users).
Note: If you want to run Algo again at any point in the future, you must first "reactivate" the dependencies for it. To reactivate them, open your terminal, use `cd` to navigate to the directory with Algo, then run `source env/bin/activate`.
Advanced users who want to install Algo on top of a server they already own or want to script the deployment of Algo onto a network of servers, please see the [Advanced Usage](/docs/ADVANCED.md) documentation.
