Re: [help-GIFT] install GIFT

[Henning Müller]

This might not be very well document but you should find this in the 
GIFT readmes. There is a command gift-add-collection.pl Calling this 
perl script with the option --help will give you all the parametres 
required.

The easiest interface to use might be the php interface available from 
the web pages. If your PC is accessible from the Internet you can also 
use an existing interface such as the one on 
http://medgift.unige.ch/demo/ and connect to your IP address and the 
port you started GIFT with.

There is indeed very little documentation on GIFT and it will require 
some manual work.

Cheers, Henning
