---+ Setting up Markus for a course

Markus is accessed via https://markus.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca

----++ Markus auto-marking backend
  
~isg/bin on linux.student.cs is a collection of legacy assignment marking scripts that drive the back-end of the Markus auto-marking setup (even though Markus is not really meant for automarking, but for annotation of student submissions only).

The relevant files and directories pertaining to these marking scripts are:

   * ~isg/bin/public*
   * ~isg/bin/rst*


Relevant configuration files are in:

   * ~isg/bin/data
   * ~csNNN/.rstrc


To disable these tests *and* any use of the handin folder on the course account, simply comment out the "post commit hook" call code in markus@assignments.student.cs:~markus/markus_csNNN_term/markus-*/lib/repo/subversion_repository.rb.


<hr>
Markus Installation &mdash; Steps for a course:
   * Create directory in !markus@markus.student.cs:~/ and update configuration accordingly
   * Create database on postgres.student.cs (see config from above)
   * Add proxy info to /etc/apache/sites-available/markus
   * Check if !markus@markus.student.cs can ssh into !course@linux.student.cs
   * Check if !course@linux.student.cs can ssh into !markus@markus.student.cs (some courses need this)
