Getting started -=============== +============================= -It is highly recommended that you start by reading the overview of the Leap Platform on the website (https://leap.se/docs/platform) and then begin with the `Quick Start` guide (https://leap.se/docs/platform/quick-start) to walk through a test environment setup to get familiar with how things work before deploying to live servers. +It is highly recommended that you start by reading the overview of the [LEAP Platform](https://leap.se/docs/platform) and then begin with the [Quick Start guide](https://leap.se/docs/platform/quick-start) to walk through a test environment setup to get familiar with how things work before deploying to live servers. An offline copy of this documentation is contained in the `doc` subdirectory. For more current updates to the documentation, visit the website. Requirements ------------- - -For a minimal test or develop install we recommend a fairly recent computer x86_64 with hardware virtualization features (AMD-V or VT-x) with plenty of RAM. If you follow the `Quick Start` documentation we will walk you through using Vagrant to setup a test deployment. - -For a live deployment of the platform the amount of required (virtual) servers depends on your needs and which services you want to deploy.

If not, the best way for us to solve your problem is if you provide to us the complete log of what you did, and the output that was produced. Please don't cut out what appears to be useless information and only include the error that you received, instead copy and paste the complete log so that we can better determine the overall situation. If you can run the same command that produced the error with a raised verbosity level (such as -v2), that provides us with more useful debugging information. -Visit https://leap.se/development for contact possibilities. - -Known Issues ------------- - -* Please read the section in the documentation about Known Issues (https://leap.se/docs/platform/known-issues) +To capture the log, you can copy from the console, or run `leap --log FILE` or edit Leapfile to include `@log = '/tmp/leap.log'`. +Visit https://leap.se/en/docs/get-involved/communication for details on how to contact the developers.
