The official instance is on https://bibliogram.art. You can see a list of instances run by the community [on the wiki page ](https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram/wiki ).

If you only use one computer, you can install Bibliogram on that computer and then access the instance through localhost.
## Installing
2020-01-14 14:44:45 +00:00
Bibliogram depends on GraphicsMagick for resizing thumbnails.
Ubuntu: `# apt install graphicsmagick`
1. `$ git clone https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram`
If you are using a fork, be sure to actually install that fork instead!
1. `$ npm install`
1. Edit `/config.js` to suit your server environment
1. `$ npm start`
2020-01-12 12:50:21 +00:00
