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 by default) and rerunning `ipfs init`.
problems getting a newer version to work, try deleting (or backing up somewhere
