Client and server for Tomato Radio Automation software. Tomato is easy to use,

and hard to screw up playout software written for the specific use case of

[Burning Man Information Radio](https://bmir.org).



  



The backend server is written in [Python](https://www.python.org/)'s

[Django web framework](https://www.djangoproject.com/), heavily leveraging its

[automatic admin interface](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/admin/).

The desktop app is a native, cross-platform [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) +

[Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/) app. It communicates with the backend

via a websocket and supports intermittent connectivity loss.

## Running the Code

### Server

Detailed instructions on how to install the server in both development and

production environments

[can be found here in the docs](https://dtcooper.github.io/tomato/server/installation/).

### Client (Desktop App)

Download a

[development preview build here](https://github.com/dtcooper/tomato/releases/tag/preview-build)

or run the client's code locally

[following the instruction here](https://dtcooper.github.io/tomato/client/#run-development-code)

### Documentation

To run the documentation locally, install [Python 3.9](https://www.python.org/)

or higher. Then in your terminal,

```bash

# Install Poetry (for Python dependencies) if you don't already have it.

curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

# Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/dtcooper/tomato.git

# Enter the docs code

cd tomato/docs

# Install dependencies and run

poetry install

poetry run mkdocs serve

```
