# Arches
Arches is a web-based, geospatial information system for cultural heritage inventory and management. Arches is purpose-built for the international cultural heritage field, and designed to record all types of immovable heritage, including archaeological sites, buildings and other historic structures, landscapes, and heritage ensembles or districts. For more information and background on the Arches project, please visit [archesproject.org](http://archesproject.org/).

For general user installation and app documentation, visit [arches.readthedocs.io](https://arches.readthedocs.io).
For the documentation pertaining to the bleeding edge code (what is in the ``master`` branch), visit [arches.readthedocs.io/en/latest](https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/latest). We welcome new contributors; please see [Contributing to Arches](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details.

[Version 7.5.2 release notes](https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/stable/7.5.2/releases/7.5.2.md)
#### Quick Install
Installation is fully documented in the official documentation, [arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable](https://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable), but assuming you have all of the dependencies installed you should make a virtual environment, activate it, and then run
```
pip install arches
```
then
```
arches-project create myproject
```
enter the new `myproject` directory
```
cd myproject
```
and run
```
python manage.py setup_db
python manage.py runserver
```
in a separate terminal, activate your virtual environment and navigate to the root directory of the project ( you should be on the same level as `package.json`)
```
cd myproject/myproject
```
and run
```
yarn build_development
```
to create a frontend asset bundle. This process should complete in less than 2 minutes.
Finally, visit `localhost:8000` in a browser (only Chrome is fully supported at this time).
If you run into problems, please review our full [installation documentation](http://arches.readthedocs.io/en/stable/installation/)
#### Release Cycle
Our general release cycle will typically be a functional release (either major if there are backward incompatible changes or minor, if there are not) every 6 months. Each functional release will typically be followed by one or more patch releases. See [semver.org](https://semver.org/) for version numbering.
- Functional releases will usually introduce new functionality to the application, but could also include styling updates, enhancements to the UX, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
- Patch releases are really only concerned with fixing any bugs related to the previous release or any other issues not yet addressed
#### Support for previous releases
- Stable releases will be supported with patch releases for at least 18 months. Typically the stable release will be the second or third minor release of a major release.
- Functional releases (with the exception of stable releases) will be supported only until the next functional release. After that users are expected to upgrade to the latest release on [pypi.python.org](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/arches)
