							|  | Alternative (Recommended) Installation
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  clone source:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    ``git clone git@github.com:asciimoo/searx.git && cd searx``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  build in current folder: ``make minimal``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  run ``bin/searx-run`` to start the application
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Development
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Just run ``make``. Versions of dependencies are pinned down inside
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``versions.cfg`` to produce most stable build. Also remember, NO make
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | command should be run as root, not even ``make production``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Deployment
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  clone source:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    ``git clone git@github.com:asciimoo/searx.git && cd searx``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  build in current folder: ``make production``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  run ``bin/supervisord`` to start the application
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Upgrading
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  inside previously cloned searx directory run: ``git stash`` to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    temporarily save any changes you have made
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  pull source: ``git pull origin master``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  re-build in current folder: ``make production``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  run ``bin/supervisorctl stop searx`` to stop searx, if it does not,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    then run ``fuser -k 8888/tcp``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -  run ``bin/supervisorctl reload`` to re-read supervisor config and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    start searx
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Command make
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Builds development environment with testing support.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make tests``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Runs tests. You can write tests
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | `here <https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/tree/master/searx/tests>`__ and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | remember 'untested code is broken code'.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make robot``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Runs robot (Selenium) tests, you must have ``firefox`` installed because
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | this functional tests actually run the browser and perform operations on
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | it. Also searx is executed with
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | `settings\_robot <https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/blob/master/searx/settings_robot.py>`__.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make flake8``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | '''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 'pep8 is a tool to check your Python code against some of the style
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | conventions in `PEP 8 <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/>`__.'
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make coverage``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | '''''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Checks coverage of tests, after running this, execute this:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``firefox ./coverage/index.html``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make production``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | '''''''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Used to make co-called production environment - without tests (you
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | should ran tests before deploying searx on the server). This installs
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | supervisord, so if searx crashes, it will try to pick itself up again.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | And crontab entry is added to start supervisord at server boot.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make minimal``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ''''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Minimal build - without test frameworks, the quickest build option.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ``make clean``
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ''''''''''''''
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Deletes several folders and files (see ``Makefile`` for more), so that
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | next time you run any other ``make`` command it will rebuild everithing.
