1. The [configuration](../../configuration/prologue/introduction.md) can be defined statically by YAML.

## Get Started

It's __*strongly recommended*__ that users setting up *Authelia* for the first time take a look at our
[Get Started](../prologue/get-started.md) guide. This takes you through various steps which are essential to

It would be a desirable [Contribution](../../contributing/development/introduction.md).
