+======== Quick installation guide with the MySQL backend ========
+
+Perform the following commands to install Bacula with its default configuration
+and all daemons and consoles in one server.
+
+1) Install packages
+
+# yum -y install mysql-server \
+    bacula-director bacula-storage bacula-client \
+    bacula-console bacula-console-bat
+
+2) Select the MySQL database backend
+
+# alternatives --set libbaccats.so /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql.so
+
+3) Create database
+
+# systemctl enable mysqld.service
+# systemctl start mysqld.service
+
+# cd /usr/libexec/bacula
+# ./create_bacula_database mysql
+# ./make_bacula_tables mysql
+# ./grant_bacula_privileges mysql
+
+4) Change passwords in /etc/bacula/*.conf with something you like.
+
+# sed -i -e 's/@@DIR_PASSWORD@@/dir-password/g' \
+        -e 's/@@FD_PASSWORD@@/fd-password/g' \
+        -e 's/@@SD_PASSWORD@@/sd-password/g' \
+        -e 's/@@MON_DIR_PASSWORD@@/mon-dir-password/g' \
+        -e 's/@@MON_FD_PASSWORD@@/mon-fd-password/g' \
+        -e 's/@@MON_SD_PASSWORD@@/mon-sd-password/g' \
+        /etc/bacula/*.conf
+
+5) Enable daemons and check they are working
+
+# systemctl enable bacula-dir.service
+# systemctl enable bacula-sd.service
+# systemctl enable bacula-fd.service
+
+# systemctl start bacula-dir.service
+# echo status dir=bacula-dir | bconsole
+
+# systemctl start bacula-sd.service
+# echo status storage=bacula-sd | bconsole
+
+# systemctl start bacula-fd.service
+# echo status client=bacula-fd | bconsole
+
+6) To grant console access to regular users add the read permission to the
+console configuration files. Remember that there is no authentication check; so
+a user that can launch the console can perform any command.
+
+# chmod +r /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf /etc/bacula/bat.conf
