Very Quick Start Guide: - svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/steve/trunk/pysteve/ - Edit steve.cfg to suit your needs (karma, DB backend etc) - IF you choose ElasticSearch as backend, install the python module (pip install elasticsearch) - OR IF you choose files as your backend, run setup.py in the CLI directory. Beware that using the file backend is currently only intended for development purposes. - EITHER: Edit httpd.conf, add it to your existing httpd configuration - Set up authorization using htpasswd for admins, monitors etc - OR: run python standalone.py (remember to edit auth karma inside it) - Go to http://steve.yourdomain.foo/admin and set up an election - Start voting!
