This is the main component of ViUR, a free software development framework for the Google App Engine.

ViUR provides a clear concept for implementing agile data management software that runs on top of the Google App Engine platform. It is written in the Python programming language for a maximum flexibility and easy-to-manage code. Its underlying database is Googles Cloud Datastore, which is a scalable document database.

The ViUR framework targets to the implementation of information systems, which are integrated, web-based applications or services performing data management and deployment operations of any kind. Therefore, ViUR is explicitly not claimed to be a content management system, although content management can be a part of a ViUR information system.

To quickly setup a running ViUR web-application from scratch, follow these simple steps:

1. Install the prerequisites Python 2.7 and Google Cloud SDK for Python for your operating system.
2. Create an empty folder for your project.
3. Download setup.py and save it into the newly created folder.
4. Run python2 setup.py from that folder - it will do the rest for you!
5. Locally start the development server with dev_appserver.py -A <your-project-key> <project-dir> or deploy it to the world with gcloud app deploy --project <your-project-key> <your-project-dir>.

All quick start steps on a bash:

$ mkdir hello-viur                                                      # Setup project folder
$ cd hello-viur                                                         # Change into this folder
$ wget -qO setup.py https://www.viur.is/package/download/setup/latest   # Download latest setup
$ python setup.py                                                       # Run ViUR setup tool
$ dev_appserver.py -A hello-viur .                                      # Start Google App Engine
