Hi Ed Thanks for the welcome! We're at an early stage with our project at the moment, so haven't yet met with any issues but I'm sure I'll raise them here if/when they arise. So far, we've been setting up Arches 4.0 on a MacBook under MacOS (Sierra 10.12.6) using the Lincoln data for demonstration to interested parties, which I've repeated on my own MacBook as well as in Ubuntu 16.04 running in VMware Fusion. I'll be setting up the production system in a cloud service using Linux.
I'm starting to consider Arches for my PhD data. I'm planning to set up a database of isotope data and fortunately, Postgres is my preferred software. I'll also be incorporating GIS and R for statistical analysis, so Arches would tick at least some of those boxes. regards David On Thursday, 17 August 2017 12:24:22 UTC+1, Edmund Lee wrote: > > Hi David, and welcome to the Arches community! > > It's good to hear that Arches is being adopted at Jersey Heritage.
