First Start

On your first start after downloading and extracting EPD, it will ask you to select the folder 'Empyrion.exe' (or 'EmpyrionDedicated.exe', if you are running EPD on the dedicated server).

After doing that, EPD will try to import all necessary data from the game folders to EPD's database.
