= pici-proxy Installation Guide =

Do you have a web account? 
So you can run a pici-Proxy!
It just needs PHP to run.

== Installation is very easy ==
Download the php-script (they are all the same. if you are a Windows user, the zip file will most probably be the easiest download for you.)
 * [http://dev.picidae.net/pici-proxy_snapshot.zip pici-proxy_snapshot.zip]
 * [http://dev.picidae.net/pici-proxy_snapshot.tar.gz pici-proxy_snapshot.tar.gz]
 * [wiki:svnAccess svnAccess]

Unzip your download and upload it to your web account. 
That's all! Type the URL into your web browser and watch it working. 

== How to change the pici-server  ==
By default the script points to the [http://pici.picidae.net pici.picidae.net] pici-server. 
To change that, open the file index.php and change the URL of the pici-server on the following line:


{{{
$pici_server = "pici.picidae.net";  // set here the URL of the pici-server
 	                                    // to use
}}}


There is no central database for existing pici-servers, as they could be censored to easely. 
If you would like to get the address of another pici-server [http://www.picidae.net/contact/ write us a mail]. (our [wiki:PGPkey] for mail encryption)

== Let the world know ==
To let the world know about your pici-proxy, make a link from your homepage. 
[http://www.picidae.net/join_picidae/banner-tags/ On this site you find many tags and banners for your link.]

Please pay attention not to use the word "pici" or "picidae" when linking to a pici-server or pici-proxy. If a censorship authority places "picidae" onto the index, your link  will remain undiscovereable.

We are always curios to hear about new pici-installations!
