There are the following quick ways to get docspell to run on your
machine:
- [Download, Unpack, Run](#without-docker) You can download
pre-compiled binaries from the [Release
Page](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases). There are `deb`
packages and generic zip files.
- [With Docker](#with-docker)
- [NixOs Module](doc/nix#docspell-as-a-service-on-nixos)
Check the [demo videos](demo) to see the basic idea. Refer to the
[documentation](doc) for more information on how to use docspell.
## Download, Unpack, Run
### Prerequisite
Install Java (use your package manager or look
[here](https://adoptopenjdk.net/)).
OCR functionality requires the following tools:
- [tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract),
- [ghostscript](http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/) and possibly
- [unpaper](https://github.com/Flameeyes/unpaper).
The last is not really required, but improves OCR.
PDF conversion requires the following tools:
- [unoconv](https://github.com/unoconv/unoconv)
- [wkhtmltopdf](https://wkhtmltopdf.org/)
### Using zip files
You need to download the two files:
- [docspell-restserver-{{site.version}}.zip](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases/download/v{{site.version}}/docspell-restserver-{{site.version}}.zip)
- [docspell-joex-{{site.version}}.zip](https://github.com/eikek/docspell/releases/download/v{{site.version}}/docspell-joex-{{site.version}}.zip)
1. Unzip both files:
``` bash
$ unzip docspell-*.zip
```
2. Open two terminal windows and navigate to the the directory
containing the zip files.
3. Start both components executing:
``` bash
$ ./docspell-restserver*/bin/docspell-restserver
```
in one terminal and
``` bash
$ ./docspell-joex*/bin/docspell-joex
```
in the other.
4. Point your browser to: <http://localhost:7880/app>
5. Register a new account, sign in and try it.
Note, that this setup doesn't include watching a directory. You can
use the [`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir) tool for this or use
the docker variant below.
## With Docker
There is a [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) setup
available in the `/docker` folder.
1. Clone the github repository
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/eikek/docspell
```
2. Change into the `docker` directory:
```bash
$ cd docspell/docker
```
3. Run `docker-compose up`:
```bash
$ export DOCSPELL_HEADER_VALUE="my-secret-123"
$ docker-compose up
```
The environment variable defines a secret that is shared between
some containers. You can define whatever you like. Please see the
[`consumedir.sh`](doc/tools/consumedir#docker) docs for additional
info.
4. Goto <http://localhost:7880>, signup and login. When signing up,
you can choose the same name for collective and user. Then login
with this name and the password.
5. (Optional) Create a folder `./docs/<collective-name>` (the name you
chose for the collective at registration) and place files in there
for importing them.
The directory contains a file `docspell.conf` that you can
[modify](doc/configure) as needed.
