==================================== English README file for OpenSlides ==================================== This is OpenSlides, version 1.4.1 (unreleased). 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. Getting started =============== Install and start OpenSlides as described in the INSTALL.txt. If you need help please contact the OpenSlides team on public mailing list or read the OpenSlides manual. See http://openslides.org. The start script of OpenSlides ============================== Start OpenSlides ---------------- Simply running openslides.exe (on Windows) or openslides (on Linux/MacOS) will start OpenSlides using the integrated Tornado webserver. It will also try to open OpenSlides in your default webbrowser. The server will listen on the IP address of your current hostname on port 80. If port 80 is not available, port 8000 will be used. This means that the server will be available to everyone on your local network (at least for commonly used network configurations). See `Command line options` below if you need to change this. The login for the default admin user after (created on first start), is as follows: Username: admin Password: admin Command line options -------------------- The following command line options are available: -h, --help Show this help message and exit. -a, --address=ADDRESS IP Address to listen on. Default: 0.0.0.0 -p PORT, --port=PORT Port to listen on. Default: 8000 (start as admin/root: 80) --syncdb Update/create database before starting the server. --backupdb=BACKUP_PATH Make a backup copy of the database to BACKUP_PATH. --reset-admin Make sure the user 'admin' exists and uses 'admin' as password. -s SETTINGS, --settings=SETTINGS Set the path to the settings file. --no-browser Do not automatically start web browser. --no-reload Do not reload the web server. --no-run Do not start the web server. --version Show version and exit. Example 1: Openslides should only be accessible on this computer: openslides -a 127.0.0.1 Example 2: Like above, but also specify the port as 8080 openslides -a 127.0.0.01 -p 8080 Supported operating systems and browsers ======================================== Operating Systems (OpenSlides runs anywhere where Pyhton is running): Windows XP or newer (32 and 64bit) MacOS X GNU/Linux Browsers: Firefox 3.6+ IE 8+ Chrome Safari
