Project Description

Available in various deployment models

Cyn.in is available in the following models:

• As a buildout from source - this is a standard buildout recipe that pulls in all required dependencies. If you already run plone 3.x from buildout and want to try out cyn.in, then this is probably for you. Download the cyn.in Server Source package and bootstrap and buildout as normal. Detailed instructions are available in the README.txt file in the source zip.
  
• As a pre-built appliance - this is a free of cost appliance that is fully-self sufficient and can be run on most popular operating systems. Use this if you're into virtualization, or want to figure out what Cyn.in's about and would rather not figure out how to do a buildout - download the Cyn.in software appliance and watch the How-To setup video while you're doing that.
• Commercially supported deployments are available for running Cyn.in On-Premise and On-Demand with dedicated instances on Amazon EC2
  

Cyn.in is constantly evolving, follow the Cyn.in project at http://community.cynapse.com and the Cynapse blog.
