## Installation
Dowload the software, either using Git, or grab a [ZIP](https://github.com/longsleep/realtimetraffic/archive/master.zip) and extract it somewhere.
You can use the client right away without installation. Just open the file client/realtimetraffic.html in any modern browser, type in a WebSocket address of a server you started somewhere and press start.
To install the server, make sure you have [Python](http://www.python.org) (2.5, 2.6, 2.7 tested) and [tornado](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tornado). For Python << 2.6 you also need [simplejson](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/simplejson). Then just startup the server.
On Ubuntu this is simple like this:
$ wget -O rtt.zip https://github.com/longsleep/realtimetraffic/archive/master.zip
$ unzip rtt.zip
$ cd realtimetraffic-master
$ sudo apt-get install python-tornado
$ python trafficserver/trafficserver.py
Server running on 127.0.0.1:8088 (ssl:False) ...
Now just open up your browser:
$ firefox http://127.0.0.1:8088/?autostart=1

Startup the traffice server on a Linux machine of your choice.
```
python trafficserver/trafficserver.py
