## Short Overview

The following order should be followed when configuring FlyingFish for the first time:

1. The installation is finished.
2. Check [Listen](https://flying-fish.gitbook.io/flyingfish/index/configurations/listen), with standard installation there is nothing further to do here.&#x20;
3. Setup [port forwarding](https://flying-fish.gitbook.io/flyingfish/index/configurations/listen/port-forwarding).
4. Add your [domains](https://flying-fish.gitbook.io/flyingfish/index/configurations/domains).
5. Set up your domain from the domain provider.
6. Add your [routes](https://flying-fish.gitbook.io/flyingfish/index/configurations/routes).
