==============
Installation
==============
Prerequisites
-------------
You'll need Python >= 3.8, and a database. See also
:doc:`wuttjamaican:narr/install/prereqs` in the Wutta docs.
.. code-block:: sh
sudo apt install build-essential python3-dev python3-venv postgresql libpq-dev
As for the database, see also :ref:`wuttjamaican:create-appdb` but FYI
these docs will assume a PostgreSQL setup with ``sideshow`` as the DB
name (and PG username).
.. code-block:: sh
sudo -u postgres createuser sideshow
sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER sideshow PASSWORD 'mypassword'"
sudo -u postgres createdb -O sideshow sideshow
Virtual Environment
-------------------
You should use a separate Python virtual environment for Sideshow.
See also :doc:`wuttjamaican:narr/install/venv` but these docs will
assume this exists at ``/srv/envs/sideshow``.
Note that root privileges are required to create the folder, but then
the folder ownership should be changed to whatever you need:
.. code-block:: sh
cd /srv/envs
sudo mkdir -p sideshow
sudo chown myname:myname sideshow
python3 -m venv /srv/envs/sideshow
cd /srv/envs/sideshow
source bin/activate
Install Sideshow
----------------
First install the Sideshow package to your virtual environment:
.. code-block:: sh
cd /srv/envs/sideshow
bin/pip install Sideshow
Then you can run the Sideshow installer:
.. code-block:: sh
bin/sideshow install
That will prompt you for DB connection info etc. When finished you
can run Sideshow:
.. code-block:: sh
bin/wutta -c app/web.conf webapp
