Before installing Halifax, please make sure you've installed both KORA and the mbira authoring plugin on your server.

To install the Halifax web template:

  1. Using your favorite terminal application, SSH into the server where you've installed KORA and the mbira authoring plugin.

  2. Navigate to the public web folder where you want your mbira website to be located

  3. Run the following command:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/matrix-msu/mbira-halifax-template.git .

By including "--recursive," the repository's required submodule will be included in the template files pulled from GitHub and placed on your web server. The space+period at the end of the command ensures that the files are pulled into your current folder (as opposed to a /mbira-halifax-template subfolder.

Once the template files are in the proper folder on your web server, you need to configure Halifax so that it connects to your mbira installation and displays your project's content (exhibits, locations, areas, etc)
