# Chapter 2. Setting up pisg for the first time

Most configuration happens through the `pisg.cfg` file, the file format is made to be easy to read, and easy to extend for further use. It uses an XML-like format, with elements and attributes.

# 2.1. Setting up a channel

An element called channel is made for defining channels, a quick example of a channel is this:

        <channel="#channel">
         Logfile = "channel.log"
         Format = "mIRC"
         Maintainer = "John"
         OutputFile = "mychan.html"
        </channel>

The above will define a channel called #channel, the logfile pisg will look for is called channel.log and the format of the logfile will be mIRC. The maintainer (which will be stated on the output page) is John.

That is basically it! Now, there are a lot more options that you can use for your channels, for this please refer to the reference documentation.

Also be-aware of the fact that pisg uses various images to show the time-related bars. These images are placed in the `gfx/` folder and should be putted into the same directory as your outputted HTML file.
