 ### 3. Install dependencies
 
-```
+```bash
 pip install -r requirements.txt
 ```
 
 _Since `wiktextract` and its dependency `wikitextprocessor` are not regularly published as a Python package, it's a challenge to fix them to a specific version. From `requirements.txt`, the latest version will always be installed. Attention: This might mean that after reinstalling, the output schema of `wiktextract` might have slightly changed._
 
-### 4. Load templates from dump files
+### 4. Congigure server
+[config.py](https://gitlab.liris.cnrs.fr/lex-game/live-query-wiktextract/-/blob/main/src/config.py) contains :
+* server settings (`host`, `port` and `debug` (boolean))
+* supported wiktionary language
+* working directory (this can be useful if the server is launched by another server using absolute paths to handle virtual environment)
+### 5. Load templates from dump files
 
-Run the script `src/load_dumps.py` to load the most recent dumpfile (for each [supported language](https://gitlab.liris.cnrs.fr/lex-game/live-query-wiktextract/-/blob/main/src/config.py#L5)) into an sqlite database that will be used by `wiktextract`.

 You might want to use to ensure flask runs in your currently active virtual environment.
-```
+```bash
 python -m flask --app src/app.py run
 ```
 
+You can run directly in your virtual environment using absolute paths (in case another server needs to launch this one in one command), example of such command
+```bash
+sh -c nohup /var/www/live-query-wiktextract/lq-w-extr/bin/python3 /var/www/live-query-wiktextract/src/app.py
+```
+
+
 ## Using Docker
 
 Alternatively the app can also be containerized using Docker. You still have to provide the dump files in `dumps/`.
 
 Then performs the two steps:
 
-### 2. Build image
+### 1. Build image
 
 ```
 docker build -t live-query-wiktextract .
 ```
 
-### 3. Run image
+### 2. Run image
 
 ```
 docker run -p 5000:80 live-query-wiktextract
