User guides

Guides for collecting records, setting up capture tools, and using the API from scripts and notebooks.

If you are new, read them in sidebar order. Getting started covers account creation and a first record. Data collection covers what to capture during disassembly and how to record uncertainty; return to it often. The Glossary defines the terms.

Hardware and RPi camera are optional: a phone camera is enough to contribute. API interaction covers reading and writing Relab data from scripts, notebooks, or integrations, and assumes you have an account.

For how the platform is built or how to run your own instance, see Architecture and Install and self-host.
