Inspiring web page, but where does a user start? I can download, install, run, and then? You are missing some instructions about an interface.

Edit: Ok I looked harder. The RUNNING file has the critical protocol/port combination (http://localhost:4251) but this could also (or rather) be in the README, and on the web page.

Thank you for that feedback. You make a good point. I will reorganize the instructions to be more up front instead of buried as you discovered :)

I went and made the windows install a one click affair, but neglected to realize the Linux one, while likely easy to install, does not launch the browser like the windows batch file does and thus unless you read the RUNNING file then you wouldn't even know it had the web UI! Which is the whole point of running it :)

I will do as you suggest and move that into the README, and as well document the fact of the web UI and its port on the website. Thank you so much!
