To get started with Squish Test Center, a few installation steps are required, including specifying a SMTP server to use for sending emails, starting Squish Test Center's server, and interactively adding a first user.

1. First, unpack your Squish Test Center binary package.
2. Specify the SMTP server

   In the unarchived folder, navigate to and open the application.ini located in /testcenter/config. Within application.ini, scroll to the ##ActionMailer SMTP section. Specify the connection's host name or IP address, for example:

               ActionMailer.smtp.HostName=smtp.yourHost.com

   Also, give the connection's port number, as in:

               ActionMailer.stp.Port=25

3. Starting Squish Test Center

   Squish Test Center can now be started. Open a command line or shell prompt and change directories to the top-level directory of the unarchived package. Issue the following in the prompt:

               $ bin/testcenter start

   If starting the server was successful, we should see in the standard output: Test Center Started

   In a web browser, open your server instance (http://localhost:8800 by default). Enter your Activation Code, previously received by email.
