You can test with the [embedded web server of PHP](http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php): + +```bash +unzip kanboard-VERSION.zip +cd kanboard +php -S localhost:8000 +open http://localhost:8000/ +``` + + +How to migrate my tasks from Wunderlist? +---------------------------------------- + +You can use an external tool to import automatically your tasks and lists from Wunderlist to Kanboard. + +This is a command line script made by a contributor of Kanboard. +It's simple, quick and dirty but it works :) + +More information here: + +- [Wunderlist](http://www.wunderlist.com/) +- <https://github.com/EpocDotFr/WunderlistToKanboard> |
