Step by step installation with virtualenv. For Ubuntu, be sure to have enable
|
|
universe repository.

Install packages
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
|
|
:start-after: START distro-packages
|
|
:end-before: END distro-packages
|
|
|
|
.. hint::
|
|
|
|
This installs also the packages needed by :ref:`searx uwsgi`
|
|
|
|
.. _create searx user:
|
|
|
|
Create user
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
|
|
:start-after: START create user
|
|
:end-before: END create user
|
|
|
|
.. _searx-src:
|
|
|
|
install searx & dependencies
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Start a interactive shell from new created user and clone searx:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
|
|
:start-after: START clone searx
|
|
:end-before: END clone searx
|
|
|
|
In the same shell create *virtualenv*:
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
|
|
:start-after: START create virtualenv
|
|
: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*):
|
|
|
|
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst
|
|
:start-after: START manage.sh update_packages
|
|
:end-before: END manage.sh update_packages
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
|
|
Open a second terminal for the configuration tasks and left the ``(searx)$``
|
|
terminal open for the tasks below.
|
|
|
|
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.
