Quick setup Once you have installed OpenTeletext you usually want to use it. For clients The client does not need to do any further steps. Simply run: openteletext and OpenTeletext will be opened. For stations The server needs to do a few things. First, pick a hostname: hostname your_hostname This will be the name by which clients will connect to your station. After, create a directory in your home directory: mkdir /home/pages This will be where your station's files will be. By default, clients request the index page. Run this command: edit /home/pages/index.otti You can enter any content you like. For a simple testing page, this should suffice: META[ <title Testing> ] PAGE1[ Hello, world! ] It is important this is called index.otti, with the file extension. Otherwise, the station will not know to serve it. You can read more on OTTI syntax here. After this, run: openteletext-station Any client should be able to now connect to your station.
