Description: Yaksh
        ========
        [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/FOSSEE/online_test.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/FOSSEE/online_test)
        
        This is a Quickstart guide to help users setup a trial instance. If you wish to deploy Yaksh in a production environment here is a [Production Deployment Guide] (https://github.com/FOSSEE/online_test/blob/master/README_production.md)
        
        #### Introduction
        
        This project provides an "exam" app that lets users take an online
        programming quiz. 
        
        #### Features
        
         * Define fairly complicated programming problems and have users
         solve the problem. 
         * Immediate verification of code solution. 
         * Supports pretty much arbitrary coding questions in Python, C, C++ and 
         simple Bash and uses "test cases" to test the implementations of the students.
         * Supports simple multiple choice questions and File uploads.
         * Since it runs on your Python, you could technically test any Python based library.
         * Scales to over 500+ simultaneous users.
         * Distributed under the BSD license.
        
        Quick Start
        ===========
        
        #### Pre-Requisite
        
        1. Ensure [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html) is installed
        
        #### Installation
        
        1. Install the yaksh
            - For latest stable release
            
                    $ pip install yaksh
        
            - For the development version
        
                    $ pip install git+https://github.com/FOSSEE/online_test.git
        
        1. In the terminal run
                
                yaksh create_demo [-p PATH] [project_name]
            - ```project_name``` is the desired name of the django project.
            - In case a ```project_name``` is not specified, the project is initialised with the name ```yaksh_demo```
            - PATH is an optional flag to specify where the django project will be installed
            - If PATH is not provided, the project is created in the current directory
        
        1. The script does the following;
            1. Creates a new django project called `project_name`
            1. Creates a new demo database
            1. Creates two users, test moderator and test examinee
            1. Loads demo questions
            1. Loads demo quiz
        
        1. Run:
        
                $ yaksh run_demo
        
        1. In a new terminal run:
        
                $ sudo yaksh run_code_server
        
        1. Open your browser and open the URL ```http://localhost:8000/exam```
        
        1. Login as a teacher to edit the quiz or as a student to take the quiz
            Credentials:
            - Student - Username: student | Password: student
            - Teacher - Username: teacher | Password: teacher
        
        1. User can also login to the Default Django admin using;
            - Admin - Username: admin | Password: admin
        
        History
        =======
        
        At FOSSEE, Nishanth had implemented a nice django based app to
        test for multiple-choice questions. Prabhu Ramachandran was inspired by a
        programming contest that he saw at PyCon APAC 2011.  Chris Boesch, who
        administered the contest, used a nice web application 
        [Singpath](http://singpath.com) that he had built on top of GAE that 
        basically checked your Python code, live. This made it fun and interesting.
        
        Prabhu wanted an implementation that was not tied to GAE and hence wrote 
        the initial cut of what is now 'Yaksh'. The idea being that 
        anyone can use this to test students programming skills and not have to worry 
        about grading their answers manually and instead do so on their machines.
        
        The application has since been refactored and maintained by FOSSEE Developers.
