Record and share your terminal sessions, the right way.

asciinema is a free and open source solution for recording terminal sessions and sharing them on the web.

This is the source code of asciinema.org (formerly ascii.io) website. If you're looking for asciinema's terminal recorder go here: asciinema/asciinema-cli

Below you'll find setup instructions in case you want to contribute, play with it on your local machine or setup your own instance for your organization.

asciinema.org site is a Ruby on Rails application. You need to have following dependencies installed:

• Ruby 2.0+ (Ruby 2.1 is recommended)

• bundler gem
  gem install bundler

• PostgreSQL 8+ with libpq development headers
  sudo apt-get install postgresql libpq-dev on Debian/Ubuntu

• libtsm
  See here for installation instructions. If you don't install it now the setup script (point 4 below) will try to install it for you anyway.

Clone git repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/asciinema/asciinema.org.git
$ cd asciinema.org

Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml. Then set database/user/password to whatever you prefer.

If database specified in database.yml doesn't exist then the following setup task will create it (make sure database user is allowed to create new databases).

Following script will install gem dependencies and setup database:

$ ./script/setup

$ bundle exec rails server

The background job processor is needed for thumbnail generation.

$ bundle exec sidekiq
