Installation of n6 Components

Shell user

First, change the shell user to dataman:

$ su - dataman

Obtaining the source code

Being logged in as dataman, with this user’s home directory as the current working directory, clone the n6 Git repository (to /home/dataman/n6):

$ git clone https://github.com/CERT-Polska/n6.git n6

Virtualenv initialization

Create and activate a new Python virtualenv, let us call it env; do not forget to activate it:

$ virtualenv env
$ source env/bin/activate

Running setup scripts of n6 packages

For the typical installation of n6 Python packages, run the do_setup.py script in the cloned n6 directory, with names of packages (names of parent directories of packages) as its arguments:

(env)$ cd n6
(env)$ ./do_setup.py N6Core N6RestApi N6Portal N6AdminPanel

Note

You can add the -a develop argument to run the script in the develop mode. In this mode a link file to each package is created in your site-packages directory. Then, every change in code is reflected immediately, without having to install the affected package again.

After successful installation, try the autocomplete option to reveal a list of n6 components:

(env)$ n6  # <- try the TAB key directly after typing "n6" to see the results of autocompletion
