Generic installation

Requirements

Operating system Ubuntu 14.04 or above is preferred. (This guide will be based on ubuntu/debian based operating systems.)

• Python 2.7
• Oracle JDK 8
• Android SDK & necessary build tools and platform SDKs
• Redis Server

1. LINUX:

Cloning the Project

git clone https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-android.git && cd open-event-android
export PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)

Installing the requirements

Installing dependencies

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common git wget libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 curl libqt5widgets5
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates && update-ca-certificates

Installing Python 2.7.x

sudo apt-get install -y python python-dev python-pip libpq-dev libevent-dev libmagic-dev

Installing Oracle JDK 8

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer oracle-java8-set-default

Installing Android SDK

sudo cp kubernetes/images/generator/tools /opt
sudo ./kubernetes/images/generator/android.sh

export ANDROID_HOME="/opt/android-sdk-linux"
export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

Installing Redis Server

You can follow the Redis Installation Guide to install and activate Redis Server on your machine.

2. OSX:

Cloning the Project

git clone https://github.com/fossasia/open-event-android.git && cd open-event-android
export PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)

Installing the requirements

Installing dependencies

Install brew

 /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
  xcode-select --install

brew install software-properties-common git wget libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5 lib32z1 curl libqt5widgets5
brew install ca-certificates && update-ca-certificates

Installing Python 2.7.x

brew install python
brew install python-dev
brew install python-pip
brew install libpq-dev
brew install libevent-dev
brew install libmagic-dev

Installing Oracle JDK 8

You can follow this link (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/mac_jdk.html) to install Oracle JDK on your machine.

Installing Android SDK

sudo cp kubernetes/images/generator/tools /opt
sudo ./kubernetes/images/generator/android.sh

export ANDROID_HOME={YOUR_PATH}

If you downloaded the SDK through their website and then dragged/dropped the Application to your Applications folder, it's most likely here:

/Applications/ADT/sdk

If you installed the SDK using Homebrew (brew install android-sdk), then it's located here:

/usr/local/Cellar/android-sdk/{YOUR_SDK_VERSION_NUMBER}

If the SDK was installed automatically as part of Android Studio then it's located here:

/Users/{YOUR_USER_NAME}/Library/Android/sdk

export PATH=${PATH}:${ANDROID_HOME}/tools:${ANDROID_HOME}/platform-tools

Installing Redis Server

You can follow the Redis Installation Guide to install and activate Redis Server on your machine.

COMMON INSTRUCTIONS FOR OSX/LINUX

Installing the project requirements

Let's go into the app generator's directory

cd ${PROJECT_DIR}/apk-generator/v2/

Installing python dependencies

sudo -H pip install -r requirements.txt

Creating a keystore

export KEY_ALIAS=debug
export KEYSTORE_PASSWORD=debug
export KEYSTORE_PATH=$(pwd)/keystore/debug.keystore

keytool -genkey -noprompt \
 -alias ${KEY_ALIAS} \
 -dname "CN=localhost, OU=SG, O=SomeName, L=SomeCountry, S=SomeCountry, C=SG" \
 -keystore ${KEYSTORE_PATH} \
 -storepass ${KEYSTORE_PASSWORD} \
 -keypass ${KEYSTORE_PASSWORD} \
 -keyalg RSA \
 -keysize 2048 \
 -validity 10000

Starting the generator

Set the appropriate config class to use as an environment variable

export APP_CONFIG=config.DevelopmentConfig # for a development environment
export APP_CONFIG=config.ProductionConfig  # for a production environment
export APP_CONFIG=config.TestingConfig     # for a testing environment

Set the URI to your redis instance as an environment variable

export REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0

Starting celery worker in the background

celery worker -A app.celery &

Note: The '&' in the above command means detaching from the console. To avoid use the following command instead

celery worker -A app.celery --loglevel=INFO

Starting the app generator web server

gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8080 app:app --enable-stdio-inheritance --log-level "info"

You can now visit http://localhost:8080 on your browser to access the app generator.

A FEW PRECAUTIONS/TIPS:

- Run Celery and Gunicorn command on different commandline windows.

- Use of virtualenv is recommended.

- Take care that the above environment variables are present at all times. You could also store them as permanent environment variables.
