+# ogCP
+
+ogCP (OpenGnsys Control Panel) is the new web interface, a modern alternative
+to the classical administration panel (WebConsole).
+
+## Installation
+
+Steps to install ogCP on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
+
+* Clone the repository that is temporarily available at:
+https://github.com/javsanpar/ogCP
+* Edit `ogcp/cfg/ogcp.json` and include the API token and the IP address of
+the ogServer. In addition, we must define the user and the key we want for
+authentication in ogCP.
+* Create a python virtual environment.
+    * Install venv with:
+        ```bash
+        apt-get install python3-venv
+        ```
+    * Create the folder where we will start the virtual environment.
+    * Create the virtual environment with:
+        ```bash
+        python3 -m venv ./previous-folder
+        ```
+* Activate the shell with the virtual environment with:
+    ```bash
+    source ./previous-folder/bin/activate
+    ```
+* (Optional) If you want to expose ogCP to other machines, you must edit
+`run_test.sh` with:
+    ```bash
+    ...
+    flask run --host=0.0.0.0
+    ```
+* With the shell linked to the newly created python environment, navigate to
+the folder where you cloned ogCP and launch:
+    ```bash
+    ./run_test.sh
+    ```
+  When running `run_test.sh` for the first time some errors are expected, but
+  they do not affect to the usability of ogCP.
