You're almost ready to start your first Nuxeo DM session, but there's one issue we need to address first.
By default, your Nuxeo DM software will listen on server port 8080, which means that, once you start DM on your local host, you'll get to it by browsing to the URL http://localhost:8080/nuxeo. That will work fine as long as nothing else is listening on that port, but if you already have another process listening there (possibly a separate Tomcat or JBoss session) and you have no control over starting or stopping that other process, you'll most likely have to reconfigure your DM install to listen on a different port.
As of Nuxeo 5.4, this can be done in one of two ways. The quickest solution is to simply add the following line to the bin/nuxeo.conf file to select a different HTTP server port; say, 8081
after which, when you start or restart DM, it will use that new port.
The other alternative is to (as of Nuxeo 5.4) use the now-integrated Nuxeo Admin Center in your DM session to select a different port. Conveniently, all this does is modify your nuxeo.conf file exactly as you saw above so either technique will have the same effect, whereupon you can now browse to your new DM session at http://localhost:8081/nuxeo.
(By the way, keen-eyed readers will notice that this allows a number of different users to have completely independent installations of Nuxeo 5.4 DM on the same server and to work independently, without tripping over each other.)
