# Static Files { #static-files }

You can serve static files automatically from a directory using `StaticFiles`.

## Use `StaticFiles` { #use-staticfiles }

* Import `StaticFiles`.
* "Mount" a `StaticFiles()` instance in a specific path.

{* ../../docs_src/static_files/tutorial001.py hl[2,6] *}

/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette.staticfiles import StaticFiles`.

### 2. Run distributed MinIO

To start a distributed MinIO instance, you just need to pass drive locations as parameters to the minio server command. Then, you’ll need to run the same command on all the participating nodes.

**NOTE:**

   * called on the {@code TypeVariable} instance has the same name as one of the public methods of

   * apply to {@code getAnnotatedBounds()}. This does mean that users on Java who obtain an instance
