 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ============================
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Start a interactive shell from new created user and clone searx:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
 |

 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    :end-before: END clone searx
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | In the same shell create *virtualenv*:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
 |

 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    :end-before: END create virtualenv
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | To install searx's dependencies, exit the searx *bash* session you opened above
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | and restart a new.  Before install, first check if your *virualenv* was sourced
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | from the login (*~/.profile*):
 |

 |

							|  | Configuration
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ==============
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Create a copy of the :origin:`searx/settings.yml` configuration file in system's
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | */etc* folder.  Configure like shown below -- replace ``searx@\$(uname -n)`` with
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | a name of your choice -- *and/or* edit ``/etc/searx/settings.yml`` if necessary.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    :start-after: START searx config
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    :end-before: END searx config
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Check
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | =====
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | To check your searx setup, optional enable debugging and start the *webapp*.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Searx looks at the exported environment ``$SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH`` for a
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | configuration file.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    :start-after: START check searx installation
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    :end-before: END check searx installation
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | If everything works fine, hit ``[CTRL-C]`` to stop the *webapp* and disable the
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | debug option in ``settings.yml``. You can now exit searx user bash (enter exit
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | command twice).  At this point searx is not demonized; uwsgi allows this.
