  3. Use CVS to checkout the TellTable files (see http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=99558 for more information).

  5. Run perl setup-config.pl from /telltable-server/config.
  6. To make abandon session work, add via visudo: www-data ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/local/bin/ssheet-clean.sh. (Instructions for debian systems, where apache userid is www-data. For other systems, use apache user)
