Quick Test Installation In Three Steps

This should work on all Linux distributions and MacOS. You need the Nix package manager (version > 1.8) to run this.
On non-NixOS machines, about 1,5GB disk space is required. On NixOS, about 1GB is required.

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/mediatum/mediatum
2. Go to the mediatum directory: cd mediatum
3. Run mediaTUM: ./mediatum.py --force-test-db

The last line in the output should say _Athana HTTP Server started at http://0.0.0.0:8081_.
You can visit http://localhost:8081 now. Default login is admin with password insecure.

The last step downloads all missing dependencies, it may take some minutes on the first run. Dependencies are installed to /nix/store.
By default, database, upload and log files are written to $HOME/mediatum_data.

See INSTALL.md for more details on installation and usage.
