# setup-arguments.txt

When you create a new profile, you must add arguments to the `setup-arguments.txt` file.

When `manage-profile` setup is run, these arguments are passed to the server's setup tool. To view the arguments that are available in this file, run the server's `setup --help` command.

To provide the equivalent, non-interactive CLI arguments after any prompts have been completed, run `setup` interactively. The `setup-arguments.txt` file in the profile template contains an example set of arguments that you can change.

`setup-arguments.txt` is the only required file in the profile.
