Install Python using Conda

Python 3.8 should be installed using a separate environment. The Miniconda version of the Conda package managment system is recommended.

Once Miniconda is installed, create a separate “screensaver” environment

conda create -p <installation_dir>/miniconda/screensaver python=3.8

# activate the environment
conda activate <base directory>/miniconda/screensaver

Install PostgresSql 9.6

Create a new PostgreSQL user and database instance using the createuser and createdb commands.

Clone the Screensaver repository to the installation directory:

git clone git@github.com:hmsiccbl/screensaver.git <installation_directory>

Activate the python environment and install the dependencies specified in the requirements.txt file.

conda activate miniconda/screensaver
cd <installation_dir>
pip install -r requirements.txt
