+# WuttaPOS
+
+This project includes two primary components:
+
+- web app and related daemons, to run on the server
+- standalone GUI app, to run on the lanes
+
+This project is in the very early stages and is not yet documented.
+It is based on an earlier effort, which used Rattail:
+[rattail/wuttapos](https://forgejo.wuttaproject.org/rattail/wuttapos)
+
+However this project uses Wutta Framework, has no Rattail
+dependencies, and "starts over" for (mostly) everything.
+
+
+## Server
+
+Make a virtual environment and install the app:
+
+    python3 -m venv wuttapos
+    source wuttapos/bin/activate
+    pip install WuttaPOS[server]
+    wuttapos install
+
+For more info see
+https://docs.wuttaproject.org/wuttjamaican/narr/install/index.html
+
+
+## Terminal
+
+It uses [Flet](https://flet.dev/) for the GUI toolkit.  The intended
+use case is to run as a proper standalone GUI app on the lane desktop.
+
+(Code for this app has not yet been added.)
