It works perfectly with Mystic's web server, just no search function since that uses PHP and Mystic doesn't have that capability yet. Otherwise it all works the same, it's all generated static HTML files from an MPY script.

It's pretty much setup to run right out of the box with no search capabilities by default.

You just have to make sure your regular user level is the same
as in the .ini file (it's set for 50, change it to your board's regular user level if need be, this is to restrict file areas and groups set with higher security levels for non-privileged users from being generated), drop all of the files in the package somewhere in your script directory, like "scripts/flisterz/" and if you want to test it just create a sysop-only menu item in the BBS somewhere that runs the MPY. 

It should just create everything needed immediately. Then just
follow the instructions about adding it to your Mystic events.

Had to check your tagline, you're running Linux, that's perfect. It definitely should just work right off the rip, no special tweaks for Windows with symlinks.
