The INDI server must +be running on the machine that is physically connected to the +astronomical instruments. +.PP +Note that there is no need for you to run the INDI server directly. Using +the KStars device manager, you can set up astronomical instruments and start +or stop the INDI server all from within KStars. +.PP +You may however choose to run the INDI server manually from the command +line. In this case you must pass the names of one or more drivers for +individual astronomical instruments.
