In this chapter, we learned what the building blocks of Moodle core look similar to and where they are located. Furthermore, we dealt with a number of options for managing files, including the basics of some file repositories.

As we found out in the previous chapter, Moodle can be installed on multiple operating systems, supports a wide range of database systems, and can be used with different web servers. Due to the openness of Moodle, it should have come across in this chapter that all its components can be accessed without any restrictions. This allows the management of files via a number of channels that we have covered, such as Moodle's file management, web host file management, and file management via the file system repository for FTP access.

Now that your system is up and running and you know what its insides look similar to, it's time to deal with courses, users, and roles.
