+# Introduction
+
+This is a web inteface for the HELIOS/SOLARIS simulation. Its purpose is NOT to replace the Simulation_Helper.C in the origin digios repository.
+It is simply provide a more easy accessible way to do simulation.
+
+# SetUp
+
+I am using apaches2 for web server. In the apaches2, need to enable the cgi-mod and other related setting.
+
+all upload file will be stored in files/* . have to chage this to chmod 777, so the apache can access. 
+
+# git clone
+
+Since the repository depends on digios. 
+
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu/git/rtang/SOLARIS_Web_Simulation.git
