Install and run
===============
Sausagewiki aims to be simple to get up and running. It is distributed as a
single independent executable for Linux.
1. Download the latest build of `sausagewiki.xz` from <https://github.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/releases/latest>
2. Decompress: `xz -d sausagewiki.xz`
3. Set execution permission: `chmod a+x sausagewiki`
4. Run: `./sausagewiki wiki.db`
For a more permanent installation, you could [install Sausagewiki as a systemd
service](https://github.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/wiki/System-wide-installation-with-systemd).
Alternative installation methods include the following:
**Build from source** with `cargo build --release`, producing the binary as
`target/release/sausagewiki`. This requires you to have a working installation
of [rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/).
~**Install with [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)** on OS X/macOS:
`brew install --HEAD https://raw.githubusercontent.com/maghoff/sausagewiki/master/deploy/sausagewiki.rb`~
This brew fromula seems to be hitting [rust issue #39870](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39870)
which supposedly has been fixed.

sausagewiki [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <DATABASE>
FLAGS:

-p, --port <port> Sets the listening port [default: 8080]
ARGS:
<DATABASE> Sets the database file to use
Sausagewiki will create an SQLite database file with the filename given in the
`DATABASE` parameter and open an HTTP server bound to the configured address,
`<address>:<port>`.
