The Manhattan Virtual Classroom system (see
http://manhattan.sourceforge.net) is a CGI (Common Gateway
Interface) application written in the C programming language for
the Linux operating system. The system consists of over 80 small
C programs each of which performs a narrowly defined task. The
Melange chat server used in Manhattan (see
http://melange.terminal.at), written by Christian Walter, was
also written in C.
Manhattan can be installed on any recent off the shelf
distribution of Linux for Intel architectures. Manhattan
requires only that the GCC compiler and the Apache web server
are installed on your system.
While you must login as 'root' to install Manhattan, all of the
files are stored in a normal user's directory. If you follow the
installation recommendations exactly, that 'normal user' can
manage the virtual classroom system without having root access.
System Requirements
Manhattan will run on any (Intel/AMD) Linux box running the
Apache web server.
