## PLT Web Server: Installation

Follow the following simple steps to start using the PLT Web server:

1. Install DrScheme
  The Web server requires DrScheme or MzScheme version 200alpha1 or later.
2. Download the server
  Choose one of the following installation options:
  - Click `here` from within help-desk.
  - Choose "Open URL..." from help-desk's "File" menu and enter `http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/ptg/packages/web-server.plt`
  - Download the file using another browser. Then select "Open" from the "File" menu in help-desk.
  - Download the file using another browser and save it as `web-server.plt`. Then run

    > `setup-plt web-server.plt`

    This option works with MzScheme as well as with DrScheme.
3. Start the server
  Launch the `web-server` program created in the same location as the other PLT programs such as DrScheme.
  The server may need to use a different port, such as 8080, on some systems. Choose a different port by starting the server with an optional port number:

  > `web-server 8080`

4. Try it out
  Direct a Web browser to

  > `http://localhost/`

  or to

  > `http://localhost:8080/`

  depending on the server's port.
5. Configure
  You may configure your server by following the links on the default index page.

We know you have a choice. Thank you for choosing PLT software.
