## Community:
|
||
Come join us on IRC in [#mgmtconfig](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#mgmtconfig) on Freenode!
|
||
You may like the [#mgmtconfig](https://twitter.com/hashtag/mgmtconfig) hashtag if you're on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/#!/purpleidea).
|
||
|
||
## Questions:
|
||
Please join the [#mgmtconfig](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#mgmtconfig) IRC community!
|
||
If you have a well phrased question that might benefit others, consider asking it by sending a patch to the documentation [FAQ](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md#usage-and-frequently-asked-questions) section. I'll merge your question, and a patch with the answer!
|
||
|
||
## Quick start:
|
||
* Either get the golang dependencies on your own, or run `make deps` if you're comfortable with how we install them.
|
||
* Run `make build` to get a freshly built `mgmt` binary.
|
||
* Run `cd $(mktemp --tmpdir -d tmp.XXX) && etcd` to get etcd running. The `mgmt` software will do this automatically for you in the future.
|
||
* Run `time ./mgmt run --file examples/graph0.yaml --converged-timeout=1` to try out a very simple example!
|
||
* To run continuously in the default mode of operation, omit the `--converged-timeout` option.
|
||
* Have fun hacking on our future technology!
|
||
|
||
## Examples:
|
||
Please look in the [examples/](examples/) folder for more examples!
|
||
|
||
## Documentation:
|
||
Please see: [DOCUMENTATION.md](DOCUMENTATION.md) or [PDF](https://pdfdoc-purpleidea.rhcloud.com/pdf/https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/DOCUMENTATION.md).
|
||
|
||
## Roadmap:
|
||
Please see: [TODO.md](TODO.md) for a list of upcoming work and TODO items.
|
||
Please get involved by working on one of these items or by suggesting something else!
|
||
Feel free to grab one of the straightforward [#mgmtlove](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/labels/mgmtlove) issues if you're a first time contributor to the project or if you're unsure about what to hack on!
|
||
|
||
## Bugs:
|
||
Please set the `DEBUG` constant in [main.go](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/blob/master/main.go) to `true`, and post the logs when you report the [issue](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/issues).
|
||
Bonus points if you provide a [shell](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/tree/master/test/shell) or [OMV](https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/tree/master/test/omv) reproducible test case.
|
||
