Tinyboard support
-----------------
vichan is based on a Tinyboard, so both engines have very much in common. These
links may be helpful for you.
* Tinyboard documentation can be found [here](http://tinyboard.org/docs/).

Tinyboard-Tools:
CLI tools
-----------------
## Directories
* ```tools/``` -- Command-line management scripts for Tinyboard. These should not be publicly executable.
There are a few command line interface tools, based on Tinyboard-Tools. These need
to be launched from a Unix shell account (SSH, or something). They are located in a ```tools/```
directory.
You actually don't need these tools for your imageboard functioning, they are aimed
at the power users. You won't be able to run these from shared hosting accounts
(i.e. all free web servers).
