This project demonstrates OMERO's ability to include an external application. It uses the open with method, of linking an external application, and gives the user the ability to login to a separate OMERO server for the purpose of exporting from OMERO server to another.

• The following terminal commands assume you have OMERO.server on your environment PATH

The documentation for adding an application to OMERO can be found here: https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/omero/5.4.0/developers/Web/CreateApp.html#add-your-app-to-your-pythonpath
