+# Deploying without the source code
+
+## Install
+
+Download the docker-compose file.
+
+Bring up the services:
+```bash
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+
+Install ptgctl
+```bash
+pip install git+https://github.com/VIDA-NYU/ptgctl.git
+```
+
+Relevant Pages:
+ - http://localhost:3010 - Argus (Online)
+ - http://localhost:3000 - Argus (Historical)
+
+## Streaming data
+
+Install the hololens app.
+
+
+
+#### Backup plan
+
+Or just pretend to stream some data:
+```bash
+ptgctl mock video main path/to/video.mp4
+```
+
+However this will only mock the video stream so you won't have 3D renderings. This is just to verify that the server is running.
+
+## Make a recording
+Go on the dashboard. Click record. When you're done, click stop recording. Then go to [ARGUS](http://localhost:3000) to view the data from the recording.
