Python
Dependencies
Note
If you are not installing ESSArch on a dedicated machine it is recommended that you first create a virtual python environment.
Install ESSArch
To install ESSArch and its dependencies, run
$ pip install essarch
Once installed, you can run the essarch command to verify that it has installed correctly.
$ essarch
Configuring ESSArch
ESSArch has a default configuration built-in which can be overridden in your own local settings file.
Generate the local settings file using the following command and follow the prompts:
$ essarch settings generate
When the configuration is complete you need to setup the database tables and load initial data:
$ essarch install
Starting the built-in webserver
The built-in webserver can be used to quickly ensure that everything is working as expected
$ essarch devserver
The web service should now be accessible in your web browser at http://localhost:8000
Warning
The built-in webserver is not recommended for production usage, instead a dedicated web server such as Nginx or Apache should be setup.
