Once installed, run `soyuz settings` to create a new settings file. The settings file has the following values:
`local_dir` - the directory on your local machine where your Gemini files are saved.
`remote_dir` - the SSH remote directory path to your files on the server. This includes the server name or ip address, so should look something like `gemini-server:/srv/gemini/example.com` or `username@123.456.789:/srv/gemini/example.com`.
`editor` - the command to open the text editor you want to use. Defaults to `nano`.
`index_heading` - the heading text above the latest posts listing on your homepage. If unsure, leave this on the default.
