+1. Running the Web Installer allows you to install sample data for libraries, patrons, etc.
+    but you may want to install additional data such as bibliographic and authorities.
+
+    Once the installer has completed, you can import and index MARC records from the
+    command line thusly (Note: you can also use the 'Stage MARC records for import' from
+    the Tools area of Koha's Staff Client to import a batch of MARC records):
+
+    $ export KOHA_CONF=/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml
+      (note: use the correct path to your koha-conf.xml)
