Notice

Agorae is a server software. There is no need to install it on your own computer to use it. The usual way is to be "hosted" by one's own institution (ask your system administrator). If your use cases meet our research interests, we can also host your data on our community server.

Installation requirements

• Git client
• CouchDB
• CouchApp
• Argos

Installation on a different domain

Agorae and Argos does not need to be installed in the same database nor on the same server. For the latter, the CouchDB server hosting Argos must be set to allow "cross-origin resource sharing".
