Before starting, we need to install the required system packages. On Ubuntu we need to run the following commands.
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python3-venv
sudo apt install mariadb-server libmysqlclient-dev
sudo mysql_secure_installation
To setup the database, use the MySQL command line to execute the provided SQL scripts.
mysql
MariaDB [(none)]> source dbSetup/dbDump-28-12-20.sql;
MariaDB [(none)]> source dbSetup/Users.sql;
If MariaDB is not running, you can start it with the command
sudo systemctl start mariadb.
The following commands will create a virtual environment and will install the required Python dependencies.
# Create a new virtualenv
python3 -m venv shotgunenv
# Activate the virtualenv
source shotgunenv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip3 install wheel
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
To start the development server, activate the virtual environment and run
export FLASK_APP=shotgun.py
flask run
