== Create a Bossa server ==

[ServerIntro Install the BOINC software] on a Linux system
(or run the [VirtualMachines BOINC server virtual machine] in a VMWare
player on any computer).

Use [MakeProject make_project] to create a BOINC project named "test":
{{{
> cd boinc/tools
> make_project --web_only test
}}}
Edit httpd.conf as directed (you'll need root access to do this).
Let's say your server's domain name is "a.b.c".

Visit http://a.b.c/test/create_account.php and create an account for yourself.

== Create an application ==

We'll create an application where volunteers view images consisting of random rectangles,
possibly with an ellipse superimposed.
Their task is to click on the center of the ellipse,
or to indicate that there is no ellipse.

Here's an example image:

[[Image(bossa_test.png, nolink)]]

(this has an ellipse slightly below/left of center).

Visit http://a.b.c/test_ops/bossa_ops.php,
and create an application named "test",
with application file "test.php" (we'll create this later).
