============
 OpenSlides
============

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 a
current version of a webbrowser.


III. Installation
=================

Installation on GNU/Linux or Mac OS X
-------------------------------------

1. Check requirements

   Make sure that you have installed Python Programming Language 3 (>= 3.4)
   on your system. You will also need the Python development headers.

   For example for Ubuntu run::

       $ sudo apt-get install python3-dev

2. Setup a virtual Python environment using the virtual environment (venv)
   package for Python (optional)

   You can setup a virtual Python environment to install OpenSlides as
   non-root user.

   Note: For Ubuntu 14.04 you have to install the pyvenv binary package. Run::

       $ sudo apt-get install python3.4-venv

   Create your OpenSlides directory, change to it, setup and activate the
   virtual environment::

       $ mkdir OpenSlides
       $ cd OpenSlides
       $ python3 -m venv .virtualenv
       $ source .virtualenv/bin/activate

3. Install OpenSlides

   You can 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).


Installation on Windows
-----------------------

*Note: There is a portable version of OpenSlides for Windows which does not
require 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

   Make sure that you have installed Python Programming Language 3 (>= 3.4)
   and Setuptools on your system.

   a. Download and run the latest `Python 3.4 32-bit MSI installer
      <https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/>`_. 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:\\Python34;C:\\Python34\\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 Python environment using the virtual environment (venv)
   package for Python (optional)

   You can setup a virtual Python environment to install OpenSlides as
   non-root user.

   Create your OpenSlides directory, change to it, setup and activate the
   virtual environment::

       > md OpenSlides
       > cd OpenSlides
       > python -m venv .virtualenv
       > .virtualenv\Scripts\activate.bat

3. Install OpenSlides

   You can 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).


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`, Password: `admin`) will be created. Please
change the password 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 8000. 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

You can store settings, database and other personal files in a local
subdirectory and use these files e. g. if you want to run multiple
instances of OpenSlides::

    openslides --local-installation


V. Development
==============

If you want to join us developing OpenSlides, have a look at `GitHub
<https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides/>`_ or write an email to our
`mailing list <http://openslides.org/contact/>`_.


Installation and start of the development version
-------------------------------------------------

1. Check requirements

   You need to have `Python 3 (>=3.4) <https://www.python.org/>`_, `Node.js
   (>=0.10) <https://nodejs.org/>`_ and `Git <http://git-scm.com/>`_
   installed. See also step 1 in the correspondent instruction in section
   III.

2. Get OpenSlides source code

   Clone current master version from `OpenSlides' GitHub repository
   <https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides/>`_::

       cd ...  # Go to a nice place in your filesystem.
       git clone https://github.com/OpenSlides/OpenSlides.git
       cd OpenSlides

3. Setup a virtual Python environment using the virtual environment (venv)
   package for Python (optional)

   See step 2 in the correspondent instruction in section III.

4. Install all required Python packages::

       $ pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Install all npm and bower packages and concat and copy all third party
   JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets libraries

   For Unix and Mac OS X run::

       $ npm install

   For Windows run::

       > npm install

   Later you might want to rerun gulp so that the third party JavaScript
   and Cascading Style Sheets libraries are not minified.

   To do this for Unix and Mac OS X run::

       $ node_modules/.bin/gulp

   To do this for Windows run::

       > node_modules\.bin\gulp

6. Start OpenSlides

   Use the command-line interface::

       python manage.py start

   This will create a new directoy with settings.py and database.

   To get help on the command-line options run::

       python manage.py --help

   Later you might want to start the server with the following command to
   avoid opening new browser windows::

       python manage.py runserver
