Install c3nav manually

Installation

This is just a simple temporary setup. There will be more information soon.

Install dependencies

Install the needed dependencies.

Debian

apt-get install -y build-essential gettext gfortran libfreetype6-dev libgeos-dev \
    libjpeg-dev libmemcached-dev liblapack-dev libmysqlclient-dev libopenblas-dev \
    libpq-dev librsvg2-bin pkg-config python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv

Feel free to add guides for other operating systems.

Clone the repository

Create a folder for all your c3nav stuff and clone the c3nav repository.

mkdir c3nav
cd c3nav
git clone https://github.com/c3nav/c3nav.git
cd c3nav

Create a virtual environment

This will create a virtual environment so the installed python packages are not installed globally on your system.

virtualenv -p python3 env
source env/bin/activate

Always run the latter command before executing anything from c3nav.

Install python dependencies

cd src/
pip3 install -U pip wheel setuptools
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Skip to the next step if you just want a development setup or use the editor.

Wanna use redis, mysql, postgres, memcached or deploy c3nav in a public place?

pip3 install -r requirements/mysql.txt -r requirements/postgres.txt
-r requirements/memcached.txt -r requirements/redis.txt gunicorn

Add Configuration

You need this to configure your own database, memcached, and the message queue. You can skip this step for now for a development setup – everything will work out of the box.

Migrate the database

This will create the needed database tables (and a temporary database, if you did not configure a different one) or update the database layout if needed. You should always execute this command after pulling from upstream.

python3 manage.py migrate

Build the translations

You can skip this step if English is enough for you.

python3 manage.py compilemessages

Build the map

No documentation is available for this. We're working on it. Please stop mistaking documentation from years ago for something that is still up to date.

Run a development server

python3 manage.py runserver

You can now reach your c3nav instance at localhost:8000/. The editor can be found at localhost:8000/editor/. Never use this server for production purposes!
