# Quick Start
## Installing Plinth
Install the python-cheetah package.
Unzip and untar the source into a directory. Change to the directory
containing the program. Run `./plinth.py` and point your web
browser at `localhost:8000`. The default username is "admin" and the
default password is "secret".
## Dependencies
* cherrypy - python web engine v3+
* cheetah - Debian has python-cheetah package
* python - tested with version 2.6.6
* *GNU Make* is used to build the templates and such.
The documentation has some dependencies too.
* *Markdown* is used to format and style docs.
* *Pandoc* converts the markdown to different formats.
* *PDFLatex* generates pdf versions of the documentation.
* *GNU Make* processes /doc/Makefile.
## Building the Documentation
Documentation has been collected into a pdf that can be built using
`make doc`. It also gets built into smaller files and other formats,
including one suitable for install as a man page.
