6. Install Python Dependencies
- Download and install setuptools:
wget --no-check-certificate https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py && python ez_setup.py --insecure - Create directories for logs:
mkdir -p data/openSA/logs - Set up pip configuration:
mkdir -p ~/.pip && echo "[global]" > ~/.pip/pip.conf && echo "index-url = http://mirrors.aliyun.com/pypi/simple" >> ~/.pip/pip.conf && echo "[install]" >> ~/.pip/pip.conf && echo "trusted-host = mirrors.aliyun.com" >> ~/.pip/pip.conf - Install required packages:
/usr/local/python37/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
7. Database Migrations
Change to the OpenSA directory and run the migration scripts:
cd /opt/OpenSAsh migrate.shpython manage.py permission_data
