Automatic setup

Janeway includes and environment setup script that will install virtual environment, its apt requirements and pip requirements. Please read the script to ensure it wont cause any issues with your current install. The command can be called directly from the command line:

wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BirkbeckCTP/janeway/master/setup_env.sh | bash

This command has been tested in 14.04, 15.04 and 16.04

You should now setup your database and run the install command.

Manual Install

The following is for Debian/Ubuntu-based systems (16.04).

  1. Install virtualevwrapper and create a project

  2. Install system dependencies. On Debian-based systems:

    sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python3-dev zlib1g-dev lib32z1-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev libjpeg-dev libmysqlclient-dev

  3. From the project root directory run the following to install python dependencies:

    pip3 install -r requirements.txt

  4. Copy the example settings file: cp src/core/example_settings.py src/core/settings.py

  5. Update settings.py for your env (database login etc.) and setup your database. This must support utf8_mb4. For MySQL installs, use the following CREATE command:

    CREATE DATABASE janeway CHARACTER SET = utf8mb4 COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

  6. From inside the src directory, run the installer

    python3 manage.py install_janeway
