(at gnu.org)">free software</a>, written in <a href="http://www.perl.org/">Perl</a>. It is available for <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/OpenGuides/" style="font-weight: bold">download</a> from the <a href="http://www.cpan.org/"><acronym title="Comprehensive Perl Archive Network">CPAN</acronym></a>. To see what's new in the latest version, consult the <a href="release_notes.html">release notes</a>. </p> <h2>System Requirements</h2> <p> To run OpenGuides, you will need a webserver capable of running Perl, and a number of Perl modules as prerequisites, all of which are also available from the CPAN. We recommend installing OpenGuides via <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPAN/">CPAN.pm</a> or the newer <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPANPLUS/">CPANPLUS.pm</a>, as these will handle the installation of prerequisites for you. Alternatively, if you run a <a href="http://www.debian.org/" title="Debian GNU/Linux">Debian</a> system, you can install OpenGuides with "apt". Full details and packages are available at the <a href="http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/debian/openguides/">package home page</a>. </p> <h2>Installation</h2> <p> General documentation is being developed on the <a href="http://dev.openguides.org/wiki/OnlineDocumentation">development wiki</a>; you may also find the <a href="https://urchin.earth.li/svn/openguides/trunk/INSTALL">INSTALL</a> file that comes with the software useful. </p> <h2>Hosting</h2> <p> If you don't have your own webserver to run a Guide on, two people are kindly offering to help out. In the UK, contact Dominic Hargreaves (dom(at)earth.li); in the US, Christopher Schmidt (crschmidt(at)crschmidt.net). </p> <h2>Help and Troubleshooting</h2> <p> Some common issues are dealt with in <a href="https://urchin.earth.li/svn/openguides/trunk/TROUBLESHOOTING">TROUBLESHOOTING</a>.
