# Quick start
1. [Download] pre-built binaries or build Pomerium from source.
1. Generate a wild-card certificate for a test domain like `corp.example.com`. For convenience, an included [script] can generate a free one using LetsEncrypt and [certbot].
Once complete, move the generated public and private keys (`cert.pem`/`privkey.pem`) next to the pomerium binary. Certificates can also be set as environmental variables or dynamically with a [KMS].
1. Next, set configure your [identity provider](./identity-providers.md) by generating an OAuth **Client ID** and **Client Secret** as well as setting a **Redirect URL** endpoint. The Redirect URL endpoint will be called by the identity provider following user authentication.
1. Pomerium is configured using [environmental variables]. A minimal configuration is as follows.
```bash
# file : env
# The URL that the identity provider will call back after authenticating the user
export REDIRECT_URL="https://sso-auth.corp.example.com/oauth2/callback"
# Generate 256 bit random keys e.g. `head -c32 /dev/urandom | base64`
export SHARED_SECRET=REPLACE_ME
export COOKIE_SECRET=REPLACE_ME
# Allow users with emails from the following domain post-fix (e.g. example.com)
export ALLOWED_DOMAINS=*
## Identity Provider Settings
export IDP_PROVIDER="google"
export IDP_PROVIDER_URL="https://accounts.google.com" # optional for google
export IDP_CLIENT_ID="YOU_GOT_THIS_FROM_STEP-3.apps.googleusercontent.com"
export IDP_CLIENT_SECRET="YOU_GOT_THIS_FROM_STEP-3"
# key/value list of simple routes.
export ROUTES='http.corp.example.com':'httpbin.org'
```
You can also view the [env.example] configuration file for a more comprehensive list of options.
1. For a first run, I suggest setting the debug flag which provides user friendly logging.
```bash
source ./env
./pomerium -debug
```
1. You should now get the following when you try to access one of your `corp` routes.
