Kansha is a web application to manage and share collaborative pinboards.

Kansha works with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 and above, Safari 7 and above, with the mouse. Kansha is currently not compatible with touch devices.

Nagare, the framework used by Kansha, needs stackless python 2.7 to run.

You can install stackless python 2.7 from there: http://www.stackless.com/wiki/Download

Then, we recommend using a virtual environment for deploying Kansha: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/

Finally, in your activated virtual environment, type:

easy_install --find-links http://www.nagare.org/snapshots/ kansha

To get quickly up and running, let's use the built-in web server, database and search engine with the default configuration.

1. First initialize the database (first run only):

   nagare-admin create-db kansha

2. Build the search indexes (can be repeated anytime):

   nagare-admin create-index kansha

3. Launch:

   nagare-admin serve kansha

Now kansha is listening. Just point your browser to http://localhost:8080 and enjoy!

The built-in server, database and search engine are very convenient for testing, but they are not recommended for production setups.

Fortunately, you can run Kansha with:

• any database supported by SQLAlchemy (complete list at http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/rel_0_9/dialects/index.html);
• behind any webserver which supports Fast CGI (FCGI);
• with ElasticSearch as search engine.

See the doc/ folder in the source for detailled documentation about configuration and deployment on production servers.
