You can now start the Pleroma service.
If you are installing Pleroma, continue with creating your first user according to the install guide.
## Maintenance
Since Elixir and Erlang is no longer managed by the system package manager after following this guide, it is recommended to periodically check their respective websites/repositories for newer versions with security bug fixes.
When updating Elixir, Erlang or both, stop Pleroma before proceeding with the update.
Pleroma will likely need to be recompiled after the update by running the following command in the Pleroma source code directory as the Pleroma user:
```sh
MIX_ENV=prod mix compile
```
If Pleroma fails to compile or start after upgrading Elixir/Erlang, run the following as a troubleshooting step in the Pleroma source code directory as the Pleroma user:
```sh
mix clean
mix deps.clean --all
mix deps.get
MIX_ENV=prod mix compile
```
Then try to start Pleroma again. If that doesn't help, join the Matrix room or IRC channel mentioned below, or make an issue on [git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/issues/new/choose) explaining the problem.
