+Minetest README
+===============
+
+For the first release the minetest server can only be installed in a Raspberry Pi.
+
+You will need a minetest client app for your device in order to connect to the server.
+
+The port is nominally the standard 30000 but can be changed using the variable minetest_port and
+the admin user is the usual Admin. Note that no password is required.
+
+Please note that the initial configuration is for creative mode and there are a number of mods installed.
+
+Locations on the Raspberry Pi

+- The config file is /etc/minetest/minetest.conf
