vervis/INSTALL.md

Vervis is still in early development. These instructions may be incomplete and/or slightly outdated. At the time of writing, you can get a running Vervis instance if you follow the steps below.

Install Darcs, GHC 7.10.3 and a recent stack version.

Download the Vervis repo:

$ darcs get http://hub.darcs.net/fr33domlover/vervis
$ cd vervis

Download fr33domlover's modified ssh package:

$ darcs get http://hub.darcs.net/fr33domlover/ssh

Update stack.yaml to specify that path in the packages section:

$ vim stack.yml

Generate a new SSH key with a blank password:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f config/ssh-private-key

Install PostgreSQL. You'll need the server and the client library development files.

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql # TODO see exactly which pages are needed

Create a new PostgreSQL user and a new database.

$ #TODO take this from the vervis ticket I wrote...

Update stack.yaml to specify correct database connection details.

$ vim stack.yaml

Build.

$ stack build --flag vervis:dev

Run.

$ stack exec vervis

Browse to http://localhost:3000 and have fun.
