## Getting Started
To start using ipfs, you must first initialize ipfs's config files on your system, this is done with `ipfs init`. See `ipfs help init` for information on arguments it takes. After initialization is complete, you can use `ipfs mount`, `ipfs add` and any of the other commands to explore!
NOTE: if you have previously installed ipfs before and you are running into problems getting it to work, try deleting (or backing up somewhere else) your config directory (~/.go-ipfs/config by default) and rerunning `ipfs init`.
