How to add pitaco to a static website

create a div, with the id pitaco

<div id="pitaco" />

add reference to the css and javascript client:

<link rel="stylesheet" src="https://pitaco.dalligna.com/css/pitaco.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://pitaco.dalligna.com/js/pitaco.js"></script>

and finally, call the pitaco function, passing your website id as reference

<script type="text/javascript">
	(function () {
		pitaco("test", "https://localhost:55001"); //your instance url here
	})();
</script>

if you want to deploy your own instance

Download, publish and copy to a server. (use self contained if you dont want to install dotnet in your server)

dotnet publish src/Pitaco.Server/ -c Release -o ./publish --self-contained --runtime linux-x64
