NOTE: This is highly experimental stuff, only meant for the core team at the moment.

Installation

Prerequisites (macOS)

Naturally, you can ignore the prerequisites that are already installed in your machine.

• XCode and the "Command Line Tools":

  $ xcode-select --install

• The Homebrew package manager.

• Python 3:

  $ brew install python3

• pip (Python package manager):

  $ sudo easy_install pip

• virtualenv (Virtual Python Environment builder):

  $ sudo -H pip install virtualenv

• LevelDB (database engine):

  $ brew install leveldb

Installing from github

Start by cloning the source code to your current local directory.

$ git clone https://github.com/graphbrain/graphbrain-server.git
$ cd graphbrain-server

It is advisable to work with virtual environments. This avoids conflicts with the system-wide installed packages and creates a nice self-contained environment for you to work on.

To create a virtual environment in the current directory, do this (macOS):

$ python3 -m venv venv

Then to switch to the virtual environment and install graphbrain-server:

$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install .
