 # OpenStack Cross-project Dashboard
-Coming soon..
+The OpenStack Cross-project Dashboard provides a centralized dashboard in the community to track multi-project initiatives (which may even take multiple releases).
+This dashboard will leverage user story trackers to associate cross-project specs with the concepts they are crafted to deliver.
+
+## Technologies
+* Angular.js
+* Express
+* Node.js
+* MongoDB (coming soon!)
+
+## Installation
+
+##### Install MongoDB
+https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/
+
+##### Install Node.js and npm
+https://nodejs.org/en/download/
+
+For Ubuntu: 
+```
+  $ sudo apt-get install nodejs 
+  $ sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
+  $ sudo apt-get install npm
+```
+
+##### Install Strongloop + Grunt + Bower
+```
+$ sudo npm install -g strongloop
+$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli 
+$ sudo npm install -g bower
+```
+
+##### Clone the repository
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/OpenStackweb/userstory.openstack.org.git 
+```
+
+##### Running the API
+```
+$ cd dashboard-project-api/
+$ npm install
+$ npm run build-sdk  
+$ node .
+```
+You should get something like this:
+```

+```
+
+##### Running the application
+```

+Finally, the explorer will open automatically on port 9000.
