 It is fairly easy to have *Rdio Scanner* up and running.

+Note that it may be possible to run *Rdio Scanner* on a system with less than 2 Gb of memory. However, the client portion will most probably fail to build when you first start *Rdio Scanner*. Try it at your own risk.

+Note that the first time you start *Rdio Scanner*, it will be longer to do so as it has to install required node modules and build the progressive web app. If it fails at this point, you can rerun the following command for more information on the reasons for the failure.

 A default configuration file `rdio-scanner/server/.env` will be created. A new random API key will be generated where it will have to be use in your upload scripts.
