Installing Saffire

There are two ways to install Saffire. The easy way, and the hard way :) The easy way consists of setting up a virtualbox environment that will automatically install everything you need through the help of vagrant. The hard way, well, you do everything yourself. Please read the information in the documentation/Installation.md file on how to install Saffire.

Using Saffire

Saffire is under construction and experience heavy redesign on occasion for as long as we haven't hit a stable release. Obviously, the closer we get, the less things will change and the current base is getting pretty solid fortunately. Please checkout the documentation/Usage.md file in order to figure out how to start with Saffire.
