// Thanks to Mohan Pradhan for developing this documentation. //

===== Configuring Vufind for single instance in Rest API =====

Go to **$VUFIND_HOME/config/vufind**. Copy the KohaRest.ini file into the **$VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR/config/vufind** directory as shown below:

<code bash>
sudo cp $VUFIND_HOME/config/vufind/KohaRest.ini $VUFIND_LOCAL_DIR/config/vufind
</code>

Edit the KohaRest.ini file and provide the following information under the [Catalog] section:
<code bash>
host = http://koha-server/api
</code>

Give your IP and port number, or the hostname of your server. In our example: 

<code bash>
http://182.93.84.138:8003/api 
</code>

The IP address or hostname will be different in your case. If you are using the standard default port 80 for HTTP or port 443 for HTTPS, you can omit the port number; e.g.:

<code bash>
https://vufind.healthnet.org.np/api
</code>

Also provide the clientId and clientSecret fields generated in the Koha patron side as shown (see the earlier step [[configuration:ils:examples:koha_rest_plugin#create_a_client_id_and_secret_key_from_the_patrons_area|Creating Client ID/Secret]] for details) below:

{{ :configuration:ils:examples:screenshot1.png?500 |}}

{{ :configuration:ils:examples:screenshot2.png?500 |}}

The entries in the clientid and clientSecret fields will be different in your case.
