I'm attempting to put up an instance using the source. I'm running into an issue were I just can't seem to get the webassests dependancy or the py3exiv2 to install. the error at least on webassests is

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement webassests (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for webassests

Anyone have any ideas?

This is usually what I do (I might have to move this to a wiki page :p):

  • Install pyenv
  • Compile/install python 3.5.5 with pyenv install 3.5.5
  • Create a virtualenv with pyenv virtualenv 3.5.5 app
  • Clone the throat source somewhere, switch to that directory and set it to use that virtualenv with pyenv local app
  • Install pip dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
  • Install node dependencies with npm install
  • Build assets with npm run build
  • Copy example.config.py to config.py and edit according to your needs
  • Go to scripts and execute install.py, that will populate the database and create a default admin user (the default password is adminadmin)

Then you can try executing wsgi.py which will launch a debug server that only listens on localhost. If everything works just fine you should later switch to something better like uwsgi or gunicorn. We run gunicorn behind a Nginx proxy.

PS: You'll also have to install a bunch of dependencies to compile python and the pip packages, off the top of my head I can only remember libmagic, libexiv2, libffi, libboost-python and libssl (If you're using Debian 9 or something similar it's libssl1.0-dev, the regular libssl will install a newer version which Python doesn't use, it seems).

Wow this is really great! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Currently I'm running this in a ubuntu 16.04 vm on my homelab. Once I've got the setup figured out and working I'll move it too a hosted vps. The more I browse this place the more I think I'll be spending a bit of time here.
