Getting Started

Use this page when you need the shortest reliable path to a working local install.

Quick Install

git clone https://github.com/nikazzio/scriptoria.git
cd scriptoria
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
scriptoria

Then open http://127.0.0.1:8000.

What To Do First

The normal first workflow is straightforward:

  1. resolve a manuscript in Discovery;
  2. add it to Library;
  3. download only when local assets are actually needed;
  4. open it in Studio;
  5. use Output for inspection and export.

CLI Shortcut

scriptoria-cli "<manifest-url>"

Use the CLI when you already have the exact IIIF manifest and do not need the full interactive workflow.
