Installation and Usage

1. Make sure Flask is installed:

    python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade flask
   

2. Clone this repo:

    git clone https://github.com/noureddin/lanbeeper
   

3. Run the server (no need to change directory; it can be run from anywhere):

    python3 lanbeeper/lanbeeper.py
   

   (OR) Run the server with a specific language (See Localization section below):

    python3 lanbeeper/lanbeeper.py ar
   

Localization

The first argument to the script can be a translation file or a language code.

For a language code to be understood by LanBeeper, it must exist in the translation/ directory, e.g., ar.ini and en.ini.

For a translation file to be understood, it must be essentially the same as the files in the translation/ directory, with only the values changed.
