1) Welcome to scboard! This file contains information about how to set up the software. For licensing information, see 'LICENSE'.

2) Supported Platforms This is developed to run on a server with apache2 on Linux and clients using Mozilla Firefox. Other webservers and browsers might work as well. If you find bugs with other configurations, you are welcome to write patches and submit them back to the project.

3) How to set up a new installation:

3.1) Prequisites

• You need a web server that is accessible by your whiteboard machines. Having the server in the LAN improves speed, however it is difficult to access the slides from other locations in that case, you'd need port forwarding etc.
• The web server needs to support php, and php must have write access to some part of the file system so we can store the slides there.

3.2) Installing

• Copy maler.html, storage.php and the icon images (.png files) to a directory of your web server.
• Download the jQuery javascript toolkit from http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.5.1.min.js and put that file where you put the scboard files.
• Create a subdirectory called 'stored' there.
• Go to this new directory and create subdirectories for all classes that shall use the software. Make sure that the php script (read: the webserver) has full read/write access to these directories.
• Make sure the following software is installed on the server. If it is not, install it.
  • ocrad (http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/)
  • Imagemagick (http://imagemagick.org/).
  • bash (http://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/bash/bashtop.html)
• You should now be able to access the program through a webbrowser from your whiteboard machines.
