Installation

The current installation method is to use a Python virtual envrionment. Many of the dependencies needed by the portal can be installed from PyPI, although some dependencies will need to be satisfied in other ways:

• A cron daemon - probably available in your system package manager

• Terraform binary - static binaries available from Hashicorp

• PostgreSQL server - probably available in your system package manager

Create and activate a virtual environment with:

cd /installation/directory
python -m venv env
. env/bin/activate

You will need to install an entry into the portal user’s crontab:

*/1 * * * * (cd /path/to/portal ; /path/to/env/bin/python -m app.cli automate --all) &>/dev/null
