+For the first-time setup, you need to have a public key file installed
+on the gitolite server. This can be done by issuing the following command:
+
+ gitolite setup -pk /path/to/YourName.pub
+
+If this command completes without any warnings, you are done. Otherwise,
+you probably supplied a key file which already has shell access to the
+server. That won't work; you'll have to generate and use a different key pair
+for gitolite access and use host aliases to distinguish between the two. The
+'setup' command has other uses, more information is available in the README
+file installed with the package docs.
