[ZendTo] ANNOUNCE: ZendTo beta released

Mon Dec 19 14:44:01 GMT 2016

I have installed and updated a Ubuntu server

Ran the install.sh

All goes well until the "easy bit"

Last few lines of the script output....

About to install ZendTo version 4.19-1
Drumroll please...

Exiting...
sudo -i /opt/zendto/bin/adduser.php
That will show you the syntax. Use it to add a single test user.
Then login to the website and drop off some files.

Now go and configure ZendTo itself in
/opt/zendto/config/preferences.php and
/opt/zendto/config/zendto.conf

'Ever since the dawn of civilization, people have craved for an
  understanding of the underlying order of the world: why it is as
  it is, and why it exists at all. But even if we do find a complete
  theory of everything, it is just a set of rules and equations. What
  is it that breathes fire into the equations, and makes a universe
  for them to describe?' - Stephen Hawking
