Can you add an anchor to this? Maybe rbgateway-index? That'll help with linking from the Review Board manual.

The "... which can require additional APIs" feels a little redundant. Maybe just get rid of that bit.

Rather than ::, this would be better with: .. code-block:: javascript <code here> That'll ensure syntax highlighting is correct.

Missing webhookStorePath.

Above, we don't use colons after the name/type, but we do here. We should be consistent.

    I feel like we should provide more guidance here, and we should link to the download page (it'll be https://www.reviewboard.org/downloads/rbgateway/).

    I also think we can do something useful with providing a handy redirect on the site that points to the latest download (say, https://www.reviewboard.org/downloads/rbgateway/latest/), since the URL will be predictable and we know the version information on the server. With that, we can have something like:

    You can `download the latest version`_ of ``rb-gateway`` or view the
    `downloads page`_ for other options. Once downloaded, place the binary
    somewhere on your server (for example, on Linux,
    :file:`/usr/local/bin/rb-gateway`) and make it executable.
    
    You'll also need a place to store the configuration files (for example,
    :file:`/etc/rb-gateway/`).
    
    For example, to get started quickly on Linux:
    
        $ sudo curl https://www.reviewboard.org/downloads/rbgateway/latest/ \
               -O /usr/local/bin/rb-gateway
        $ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rb-gateway
        $ sudo mkdir /etc/rbgateway
    

    Once installed, follow the :ref:`configuration instructions <rbgateway-configuration>`
    to finish setting up your server.
    
    1. Technically it should go into /opt since its third party.

    2. Eh, I don't know about that. That's not really done in reality, generally-speaking, and can lead to more confusion than anything. /opt is more often used if you're dealing with a more self-contained installation environment (think a Bitnami install) rather than user-downloadable software.

    Can you add:

    ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
    

    This allows users to do systemctl reload rb-gateway

    Also, do you mind adding this to the unit file as well?

    I realized the flaw with my idea here is that we have a version per platform. So maybe latest/linux_amd64/, which would map to the rbgateway-1.0-linux-amd64 (or, say, rbgateway-1.0-windows-amd64.exe).
