  * Compile
<code>
sudo make
</code>
  * Create a DEB package
<code>
sudo cpack -G DEB
</code>
  * Install the package
<code>
sudo dpkg -i accel-ppp.deb
</code>
  * If the install went OK you can use the reference config file and make it active
<code>
sudo mv /etc/accel-ppp.conf.dist /etc/accel-ppp.conf
</code>
  * We will cover a basic PPPoE server's config on its own dedicated Wiki page.
  * See if it starts up. It should start up wit the default config file
<code>
sudo systemctl start accel-ppp
sudo systemctl status accel-ppp
</code>
  * Make sure the service is enabled for start-up
<code>
sudo systemctl enable accel-ppp
</code>
  * Should you want to start the service up manually
<code>
sudo accel-pppd -d -c /etc/accel-ppp.conf -p /var/run/accel-ppp.pid
</code>
  * Next we will take a look of some of the important files that were installed with the **accel-ppp.deb** package
