Prerequisites
There is not a lot that you need to start these first steps, but it includes a computer and some free time!
Additionally some basic knowledge about terminal usage within Linux (Ubuntu) is assumed. You can find some good starter information on the official Ubuntu documentation, although you should be able to copy all the commands from this tuturial and learn on the go!
Installation
See the installation page for instructions on how to install the system and get it running.
Using the API
Prerequisites
Before you ask, API stands for Application Programming Interface, it describes how to use a system and what it can do, for us this is the place to start as it quickly shows you the power of the system!
To use the API we are going to use a tool called Postman, it is a well-established chrome extension that makes using a REST API a breeze.
If you are using chrome you can find Postman here, if you do not use chrome I suggest you install chrome first
