Hello Barno,

1. Orthanc configuration is explained here :  
[https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/configuration.html](https://book.orthanc-server.com/users/configuration.html)

2. the quoted line does mean :  
Execute “Orthanc” software and give it a parameter named “config”, the value of this parameter is “Configuration.json”. This is a file which contains the actual desired Orthanc configuration.

Regards,
