Bonito (run.cgi) configuration

Bonito configuration file is run.cgi you may run multiple instances just by copying this file and changing the configuration. To enable authentication set _anonymous = False. If you run Crystal on a different hostname than Bonito, you may need to setup CORS headers appropriately, see the top of the run.cgi file.

Crystal (config.js) configuration

# set URL to run.cgi script of bonito
URL_BONITO: "https://no.sketchengine.co.uk/bonito/run.cgi/",
