 3. **Set your configuration options.** Open `config.cfg` in your favorite text editor. Specify the users you want to create in the `users` list. Create a unique user for each device you plan to connect to your VPN. You should also review the other options before deployment, as changing your mind about them later [may require you to deploy a brand new server](https://github.com/trailofbits/algo/blob/master/docs/faq.md#i-deployed-an-algo-server-can-you-update-it-with-new-features).
 
 4. **Start the deployment.** Return to your terminal. In the Algo directory, run the appropriate script for your platform:
-    
+
     **macOS/Linux:**
     ```bash
     ./algo
     ```
-    
+
     **Windows:**
     ```powershell
     .\algo.ps1
     ```
-    
+
     The first time you run the script, it will automatically install the required Python environment (Python 3.11+). On subsequent runs, it starts immediately and works on all platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows via WSL). The Windows PowerShell script automatically uses WSL when needed, since Ansible requires a Unix-like environment. There are several optional features available, none of which are required for a fully functional VPN server. These optional features are described in the [deployment documentation](docs/deploy-from-ansible.md).
 
 That's it! You can now set up clients to connect to your VPN. Proceed to [Configure the VPN Clients](#configure-the-vpn-clients) below.
