============
I. What is OpenSlides?
======================
OpenSlides is a free web-based presentation and assembly system for
displaying and controlling of agenda, motions and elections of an assembly.
See http://openslides.org/ for more information.
II. Requirements
================
OpenSlides runs everywhere where Python is running (for example on
GNU/Linux, Mac or Windows (XP or newer)). On each client you need only an
actual webbrowser.
III. Installation
=================
Installation on GNU/Linux or Mac OS X
-------------------------------------
1. Check requirements
2014-03-11 09:25:34 +01:00
Make sure that you have installed Python Programming Language 2 (>= 2.6.9)
on your system. You will also need the Python development headers.
For example for Ubuntu run::
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
2. Setup a virtual environment with Virtual Python Environment builder
(optional)
You can setup a virtual environment to install OpenSlides as non-root
user. Make sure that you have installed Virtual Python Environment
builder on your system.
For example for Ubuntu run::
$ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
Create your OpenSlides directory, change to it, setup and activate the
virtual environment::
$ mkdir OpenSlides
$ cd OpenSlides
$ virtualenv .virtualenv
$ source .virtualenv/bin/activate
3. Install OpenSlides
To use the Python Package Index (PyPI) simply run::
$ pip install openslides
You can also use the package from the `OpenSlides Website
<http://openslides.org/download/>`_. Download latest OpenSlides release
as compressed tar archive and run::
$ pip install openslides-x.x.tar.gz
OpenSlides will install all required python packages (see
requirements_production.txt).
If you use Python 2.6.x, you have to add the option `--allow-external
argparse` to the pip command::
2014-03-28 19:38:42 +01:00
$ pip install --allow-external argparse openslides
Installation on Windows
-----------------------
*Note: There is a portable version of OpenSlides for Windows which does not
required any install steps. If there is a reason that you can not use the
portable version you should observe the following install steps.*
1. Check requirements
2014-03-11 09:25:34 +01:00
Make sure that you have installed Python Programming Language 2 (>= 2.6.9)
and Setuptools on your system.
a. Download and run the `Python 32-bit MSI installer
<http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.6/python-2.7.6.msi>`_. Note
that the 32-bit MSI installer is required even on a 64-bit Windows
system. If you use the 64-bit MSI installer, step 3 of this
instruction will fail unless you installed the package reportlab
manually.
b. Add python directories to PATH (via Control Panel > System >
Advanced): ``";C:\\Python27;C:\\Python27\\Scripts"``. Note that the path
can differ if you customized the install of Python in the first step.
c. Download and run (via double click) the last `install script
ez_setup.py for Setuptools
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/#installation-instructions>`_.
2. Setup a virtual environment with Virtual Python Environment builder
(optional)
You can setup a virtual environment to install OpenSlides as non-root
user. Make sure that you have installed Virtual Python Environment
builder on your system.
To install Virtual Python Environment builder, open command line (cmd)
and run::
> easy_install https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.11.4.tar.gz
Create your OpenSlides directory, change to it, setup and activate the
virtual environment::
> md OpenSlides
> cd OpenSlides
> virtualenv .virtualenv
> .virtualenv\Scripts\activate
3. Install OpenSlides
To use the Python Package Index (PyPI) simply run on command line (cmd)::
> easy_install openslides
You can also use the package from the `OpenSlides Website
<http://openslides.org/download/>`_. Download latest OpenSlides release
as compressed tar archive and run::
> easy_install openslides-x.x.tar.gz
OpenSlides will install all required python packages (see
requirements_production.txt).
IV. Start
=========
To start OpenSlides simply run on command line::
openslides
If you run this command the first time, a new database and the admin account
(Username: `admin`) will be created. Please change the password (Password:
`admin`) after first login!
OpenSlides will start using the integrated Tornado webserver. It will also
try to open the webinterface in your default webbrowser. The server will
try to listen on the local ip address on port 80 or port 8000 if you do not
have admin permissions. That means that the server will be available to
everyone on your local network (at least for commonly used network
configurations).
If you use a virtual environment (see install instructions, step 2), do not
forget to activate the environment before restart after you have closed the
terminal.
For Unix and Mac OS X run::
$ source .virtualenv/bin/activate
For Windows run::
> .virtualenv\Scripts\activate
To get help on the command line options run::
openslides --help

<http://git-scm.com/>`_.
For example for Ubuntu run::
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git clone git://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides.git
$ cd OpenSlides
For Windows you can use GitBash::
> cd ... # Go to a nice place in your filesystem.
> git clone git://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides.git
> cd OpenSlides
3. Setup a virtual environment with Virtual Python Environment builder (optional)
Follow step 2 in the correspondent instruction in section III.
4. Install all required python packages
For Unix and Mac OS X run::
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
If you use Python 2.6.x, you have to add the option `--allow-external
argparse` to the pip command::
$ pip install --allow-external argparse -r requirements.txt
For Windows run::
> easy_install # Insert all packages from requirements.txt and requirements_production.txt here
5. Start OpenSlides
To start OpenSlides use the command line script::
python manage.py start
To get help on the command line options run::
python manage.py --help
