+# How to test an Alto XML file
+
+Setup Open ONI as submodule. This is needed since the open-oni folder will be mounted in the `web` container.
+
+    `git submodule --init --checkout`
+
+Than you should be able to test an XML Alto file with:
+
+    `bash test_alto_batch.sh <path_to_alto_XML_file>`
+
+The script will lookup for a .jp2 and .tif image in the same directory and with the same name as the Alto XML file.
+
+    e.g.
+
+    test_alto
+        |-- 0001.xml
+        |-- 0001.jp2
+        |-- 0001.tif
