Quixote comes with some demonstration applications in the demo directory. After quixote is installed (see INSTALL.txt for instructions), you can run the demos using the scripts located in the server directory.
Each server script is written for a specific method of connecting a quixote publisher to a web server, and you will ultimately want to choose the one that matches your needs. More information about the different server scripts may be found in the scripts themselves and in web-server.txt. To start, though, the easiest way to view the demos is as follows: in a terminal window, run server/simple_server.py, and in a browser, open http://localhost:8080.
The simple_server.py script prints a usage message if you run it with a '--help' command line argument. You can run different demos by using the '--factory' option to identify a callable that creates the publisher you want to use. In particular, you might try these demos:
simple_server.py --factory quixote.demo.mini_demo.create_publisher
or
simple_server.py --factory quixote.demo.altdemo.create_publisher
