+======== Quick installation guide with the default PostgreSQL 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 postgresql-server \
+ bacula-director bacula-storage bacula-client \
+ bacula-console bacula-console-bat
+
+2) Select the PostgreSQL database backend
+
+# alternatives --set libbaccats.so /usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql.so
+
+3) Create database
+
+# postgresql-setup initdb
+# systemctl enable postgresql.service
+# systemctl start postgresql.service
+
+# su - postgres
+$ cd /usr/libexec/bacula
+$ ./create_bacula_database
+$ ./make_bacula_tables
+$ ./grant_bacula_privileges
+
+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
