# Configuring the Ansible playbook
To configure the playbook, you need to have done the following things:
- have a server where Matrix services will run
- [configured your DNS records](configuring-dns.md)
- [retrieved the playbook's source code](getting-the-playbook.md) to your computer
You can then follow these steps inside the playbook directory:
- create a directory to hold your configuration (`mkdir inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>`)
- copy the sample configuration file (`cp examples/host-vars.yml inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`)
- edit the configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`) to your liking. You may also take a look at the various `roles/ROLE_NAME_HERE/defaults/main.yml` files and see if there's something you'd like to copy over and override in your `vars.yml` configuration file.
- copy the sample inventory hosts file (`cp examples/hosts inventory/hosts`)
- edit the inventory hosts file (`inventory/hosts`) to your liking
For a basic Matrix installation, that's all you need.
For a more custom setup, see the [Other configuration options](#other-configuration-options) below.
When you're done with all the configuration you'd like to do, continue with [Installing](installing.md).
