Armstrong For Linux

Armstrong is an open-source publishing system designed for news organizations that gives your team the technology edge it needs to report in a media-rich environment.

This package is a meta package that loads all of the various components of Armstrong as independent packages. Installing this package is the easiest way to get the full distribution of Armstrong, but is not required to use the various components of Armstrong.

For the latest released version of Armstrong, use pip to install it from PyPI like this:

pip install armstrong

Note that PyPI only has official releases. At this point in time there are no official releases.

You can track the latest development of Armstrong by installing the development version from Git. Obtain the latest version by visiting our GitHub page and either cloning or downloading a tarball.

Once obtained, switch into the directory of the repository (or snapshot if a tarball was downloaded) and tell pip to install it:

 pip install .

Armstrong is an open-source news platform that is freely available to any organization. It is the result of a collaboration between the Texas Tribune and Bay Citizen, and a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The first release is scheduled for June, 2011.
