Hardware/software requirements
Installation requirements for eLabFTW depend on your platform and how you want to install. If you have an old computer that can act as a server, you can install it on that hardware. Otherwise, it can be installed locally for single-person use.
Reference the installation guide for more information.
Videos, screenshots, and other media
- The eLabFTW documentation can be found here.
- A few screenshots of eLabFTW can be found at the main page.
- A demo of the software can be accessed here.
Entities using eLabFTW
- Several labs are already using it in Institut Curie, Paris, France. The whole institute might adopt it in the future. This is where the software is originated.
- IGEM, Waterloo, Canada
- École Polytechnique, France
- Saarland University, Germany
- Texas Tech University, Texas, USA
- University of Cambridge, UK
- Duke university Medical School, NC, USA
The use is at the lab level, not departements (AFAIK).
