Standard Linux Setup

This guide will cover installing and setting up Ringer Server on Linux.

1. Installing Python.

The first thing we will have to do to get started is to make sure we have Python installed on our Linux distro. To do this we can run the following command.

$ python3

If the command brings up the Python shell in the command line, you already have Python installed. To exit the shell simply press ctrl + c. Then move on to the next step. If you got an error, you probably don't have Python installed. To install it, just run these commands.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python3.6

Once you have successfully installed Python you are ready to move on to the next step.

2. Installing Ringer Server

The next step is to install Ringer Server on your Linux machine. To do this, we must first create a directory to install the server. To do that, we can run this command.

$ mkdir Ringer_Server

After you have created a directory, you now must navigate into it by running this command.

$ cd /Ringer-Server

After moving into the directory we just created, it's now time to clone the Ringer Server repository. To do this we must issue this command.

$ gh repo clone Lif-Platforms/New-Ringer-Server

After the repository is finished cloning, you are ready to move on to the next step.
