+# virl-scheduler
+Setup instructions
+
+* make sure bower, composer and npm are available on command line
+* run **npm update** in virl-scheduler root directory (only if you want to test in devmodes, apache is enough otherwise)
+* run **bower update** in virl-scheduler root directory, afterwards verify **bower_components** directory was created
+* run **composer update** in virl-scheduler root directory, afterwards verify **vendor** directory was created
+* configure apache to use **virl-scheduler** and **index.html** as webroot (make sure rewrite engine is on and .htaccess files are parsed by apache)
+
+Change hostname for **VIRLRestangular factory** in **app/topologyManager.js** to your VIRL-API-Hostname or IP-Address.
