What is OpenSlides?
===================

OpenSlides is a free, web based presentation and assembly system for
managing and projecting agenda, motions and elections of an assembly. See
https://openslides.org/ for more information.


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.


Installation
============

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

a. Check requirements
'''''''''''''''''''''

Make sure that you have installed `Python (>= 3.4)
<https://www.python.org/>`_ on your system. You also need the Python
development headers, the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runtime library
(dependency package) and the compression library (development).

\E. g. for Ubuntu run::

    $ sudo apt-get install python3-dev libjpg-dev zlib1g-dev


b. Setup a virtual Python environment (optional)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

You can setup a virtual Python environment using the virtual environment
(venv) package for Python to install OpenSlides as non-root user.

*Note: For Ubuntu 14.04 you have to install the pyvenv binary package*
``python3.4-venv`` *before.*

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


c. Install OpenSlides
'''''''''''''''''''''

To install OpenSlides just run::

    $ pip install openslides

You can also use the package from the `OpenSlides website
<https://openslides.org/>`_. Download latest OpenSlides release as
compressed tar archive and run::

    $ pip install openslides-x.x.tar.gz

This will install all required Python packages (see
``requirements_production.txt``).


d. Start OpenSlides
'''''''''''''''''''

To start OpenSlides simply run::

    $ 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 step b.), do not forget to activate
the environment before restart after you have closed the terminal::

    $ source .virtualenv/bin/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


2. Installation on Windows
--------------------------

Download the latest portable version of OpenSlides for Windows from
`OpenSlides website <https://openslides.org/>`_ which does not require any
install steps. Simply unzip the downloaded file and run ``openslides.exe``.
