## Instances

There is currently no official Bibliogram instance. You will have to run your own, or find someone else's.

If you only use one computer, you can install Bibliogram on that computer and then access the instance through localhost.

## Installing

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`

Bibliogram is now running on `0.0.0.0:10407`.

## User-facing endpoints
