Arches
Arches is a web-based, geospatial information system for cultural heritage inventory and management.

Quick Install
Installation is fully documented in the official documentation, arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable, but assuming you have all of the dependencies installed you should make a virtual environment, activate it, and then run
pip install arches
then
arches-admin startproject myproject
enter the new myproject directory
cd myproject
and run
python manage.py setup_db
python manage.py runserver
in a separate terminal, activate your virtual environment and navigate to the root directory of the project ( you should be on the same level as package.json)
cd myproject/myproject
and run
npm run build_development
to create a frontend asset bundle. This process should complete in less than 2 minutes.
Finally, visit localhost:8000 in a browser (only Chrome is fully supported at this time).
If you run into problems, please review our full installation documentation
Release Cycle
Our general release cycle will typically be a functional release (either major if there are backward incompatible changes or minor, if there are not) every 9 months. Each functional release will typically be followed by one or more patch releases. See semver.org for version numbering.
- Functional releases will usually introduce new functionality to the application, but could also include styling updates, enhancements to the UX, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
- Patch releases are really only concerned with fixing any bugs related to the previous release or any other issues not yet addressed
Support for previous releases
- LTS (Long Term Support) releases will be maintained with patch releases for at least 27 months. Typically an LTS release will be the second minor release following a major release.
- Feature releases (with the exception of stable releases) will be supported only until the next feature release. After that users are expected to upgrade to the latest release on pypi.python.org
For details regarding future releases, see the feature roadmap.
