Ambuda is an online Sanskrit library whose mission is to make Sanskrit literature accessible to all. Our library is hosted at https://ambuda.org.

This repository contains Ambuda's core code. It also includes seed scripts, which will automatically pull external data sources and populate a development database.

(This setup process requires Docker. If you don't have Docker installed on your machine, you can install it here.)

To install and run Ambuda locally, please run the commands below:

$ git clone https://github.com/ambuda-org/ambuda.git
$ cd ambuda
$ make devserver

Then, navigate to https://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
