The EduAirBox is a Box for schools. It is a portable digital library containing millions of books and operating without internet connection.

Definition

Requirement

Although the first version of EduAir in this repository (https://github.com/EduAir/EduAir) was running on a Raspberry, this version which is more complete with a system of communication and collaboration using other open source software such as EtherPad requires at least 4 GB of RAM and a disk with a storage space of 120 GB minimum for a good start in production.

The Linux distribution used for this release is Ubuntu 14.04 any higher version should not cause any worries.

As a server we use Intel NUC Core i3 to install EduAir. You can decide if you want to choose another type of higher hardware in terms of computing power. We do not guarantee the operation with equipment below those recommended but it would be good news to let us know if it works.
