Luminotes is a WYSIWYG personal wiki notebook for organizing your notes and
ideas. For more information, see:

Windows XP / Vista
------------------

To start Luminotes Desktop on Windows, just click the Start button, click on
"All Programs", and then click on "Luminotes". Luminotes Desktop runs inside a
browser, so when you launch it, it will open up in a new browser window or
tab.

The first time you start Luminotes, you may see a Windows Security Alert about
blocking Luminotes. This is basically Windows asking you if you want to allow
Luminotes to access the internet. If you click "Keep Blocking", then that will
prevent Luminotes Desktop from accessing the internet. If you click "Unblock",
then Luminotes will be able to use your internet connection.

Right now, Luminotes does not use the internet at all. However, a future
release will include the optional ability for you to synchronize your notes
with Luminotes.com. If you plan on using this synchronization feature when
it's available, then you should click "Unblock". Otherwise, you can safely
click "Keep Blocking".

In case you're curious, your notes and attached files are stored within the
%APPDATA%\Luminotes folder in a database file.

If you'd like to run Luminotes from a USB drive, first install Luminotes
Desktop normally. Once it's installed, instead of running Luminotes, manually
copy the whole \Program Files\Luminotes folder to your USB drive.  Then, run
usb_luminotes.bat from the USB drive. Your Luminotes data, including all of
your notes and notebooks, will be stored on the USB drive instead of on the
computer itself. Then, anytime you want to start Luminotes on the USB drive,
run usb_luminotes.bat from it.


Linux / Mac OS X / BSD
----------------------

To start Lumintoes Desktop or Server on Linux or Mac OS X, please see the
INSTALL file.
