## Configuration
If you installed Lacus, you can configure AIL to use it as a crawler. For further information, please refer to the [HOWTO.md](https://github.com/ail-project/ail-framework/blob/master/HOWTO.md)

## Using Images to run AIL
If you want to use images to install AIL, you can download them from the ail-project [image website](https://images.ail-project.org/)

After downloading the images, you can import them into LXD using the following command:
```bash
lxc image import <path_to_image> --alias <image_alias>
```
Now you can use the image to create a container:
```bash
lxc launch <image_alias> <container_name>
```

To log into the container you need to know the automatically generated password. You can get it with the following command:
```bash
lxc exec <container_name> -- bash -c "grep '^password=' /home/ail/ail-framework/DEFAULT_PASSWORD | cut -d'=' -f2"
```

If you also want to use Lacus, you can do the same with the Lacus image. After that, you can configure AIL to use Lacus as a crawler. For further information, please refer to the [HOWTO.md](https://github.com/ail-project/ail-framework/blob/master/HOWTO.md).

## Building the images locally
If you want to build the images locally, you can use the `build.sh` script:
```bash
bash build.sh [OPTIONS]
```
