pageboard -- website editor

install

Besides npm install pageboard:

• a postgresql 10 database
• exiftool (for inspector)
• webkitgtk 2.20 (for prerender)
• vips 8.6 (for image)

all of which are trivial to install on a debian or fedora operating system.

The server module requires more tools (iptables, nginx, memcached, upcache).
