Documentation is "continuously" not finished... Nevertheless these WIP docs may be of help:

• FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
• User Doc
• Admin Guide
• Developer Doc

• 4Minitz Backlog - organizes our project TODOs
• 4Minitz Demo Server - well, our Demo server ;-)
• TravisCI - Runs unit and end2end tests on each commit
• Code Climate - Keeps an eye on our code quality
• CLA Assist - Manages signing of our Contributor License Agreements
• Docker Hub - Spin up your own 4Minitz server in seconds

You have two options to quickly evaluate a local demo installation at your site.

1. Use our ready-to-go docker image (recommended!) or
2. Install meteor. Then build and run 4Minitz locally

Attention: Option 1 is only one possibility of running a production server. Don't miss the Admin Guide with a more comprehensive coverage of the real production building & installation topic!

The 4Minitz docker image includes the compiled 4Minitz app, a fitting node.js version and MongoDB and thus has no external dependencies.

See the admin guide for how to configure your 4Minitz docker server.

Attention: Option 2 is for quick testing only. It is intended for developers and so it has some security drawbacks (No password protection for MongoDB) and also consumes some amount of extra RAM (>700 MB)). Don't miss the Admin Guide with a more comprehensive coverage of the real production installation topic!

4minitz is realized with the Meteor JS Framework. So, first install the current version of meteor:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh
meteor --version

To download fresh code form github you will need git in your path.

You'll need root rights for that. As a non-root user you may install meteor by:

git clone --depth 1 --recursive https://github.com/meteor/meteor.git
cd meteor
meteor --version
sudo ln -s ./meteor /usr/local/bin/meteor

On Windows? Download the meteor installer. As experienced Windows admin you sure can transfer the below steps for Linux and Mac to your OS.

OK, here we go! For a quick test installation perform:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/4minitz/4minitz.git --branch master --single-branch
cd 4minitz
cp settings_sample.json settings.json
./runapp.sh

Wait some time for meteor to finish downloading and building. You can reach 4Minitz via the default port 3100 by opening http://localhost:3100 in your browser

Hint: There exists a settings_sample.json file that has quite a few configuration options (like sending eMails etc.). Don't miss the Admin Guide with more details on this topic.
