==================================

Prerequisites
-------------

- Python 2.5 <http://www.python.org/>
- Quixote 2.5 <http://www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/>
- Lasso 2.2 <http://lasso.entrouvert.org/> for Liberty/SAML support


Installation
------------

w.c.s. uses the standard distutils Python package; just run::

  python setup.py install

and you're done.


Configuration
-------------

w.c.s. has been tested with Quixote configured through SCGI with Apache and 2
The recommended configuration is to use SCGI version 1.8 or later (as it has
the SCGIMount directive).

SCGI usage requires an additional server to run, 'wcsctl.py start', the Debian
package installs a init.d script automatically.
