* Everything else is optional and has defaults
## Manual
* Install `imagemagick` or `libmagickwand-dev` for dds-to-png conversion
* Copy `app/settings_exmaple.py` to `app/settings.py` and adjust the settings you would like.
* Provide `APP_SECRET_KEY` and `APP_DATABASE_URI` in `app/settings.py`
* app/luclient must contian a copy of an unpacked client
* you only need `res/` and `locale/` from the client, but dropping the whole client in there won't hurt
* Use `fdb_to_sqlite.py` in lcdr's utilities on `res/cdclient.fdb` in the unpacked client to convert the client database to `cdclient.sqlite`
* Put the resulting `cdclient.sqlite` in the res folder: `res/cdclient.sqlite`
* unzip `res/brickdb.zip` in-place
* you should have new folders and files in the following places:
* `res/Assemblies/../..` with a bunch of sub folders
* `res/Primitives/../..` with a bunch of sub folders
* `res/info.xml`
* `res/Materials.xml`
* Run:
* `pip install -r requirements.txt`
* `pip install gunicorn`
* `flask db upgrade`
* `gunicorn -b :8000 -w 4 wsgi:app`
* Preferably, you want to setup a systemd service or something to keey this running
Thanks to [HailStorm32](https://github.com/HailStorm32) for this manual install guide!
### Setting Up The Environment
First you will want to install the following packages by executing the following commands
`sudo apt-get update`
`sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip sqlite3 git unzip libmagickwand-dev`
> *Note: If you are having issues with installing `sqlite3`, change it to `sqlite`*
<br>
Next we will clone the repository. You can clone it anywhere, but for the purpose of this tutorial, we will be cloning it to the home directory.
`cd` *make sure you are in the home directory*
`git clone https://github.com/DarkflameUniverse/NexusDashboard.git`
You should now have a directory called `NexusDashboard`
### Setting up
Rename the example settings file
`cp ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings_example.py ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings.py`
Now let's open the settings file we just created and configure some of the settings
`vim ~/NexusDashboard/app/settings.py`
>*Feel free to use any text editor you are more comfortable with instead of vim*
<br>
Inside this file is where you can change certain settings like user registration, email support and other things. In this tutorial I will only be focusing on the bare minimum to get up and running, but feel free to adjust what you would like
>*Note: Enabling the email option will require further setup that is outside the scope of this tutorial*
The two important settings to configure are `APP_SECRET_KEY` and `APP_DATABASE_URI`
For `APP_SECRET_KEY`, fill in any random 32 character string
For `APP_DATABASE_URI`, fill in the respective fields
```
<username> --> database username
<password> --> database password
<host> --> database address
(this will most likely be localhost if you are running the database on the same machine
<port> --> port number of the database
(this can most likely be left out if you are running the database on the same machine)
<database> --> database name
```
>*If you are omitting `<port>`, make sure to also omit the `:`*
For a configuration where the database is running on the same machine, it would similar to this
```
APP_SECRET_KEY = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz123456"
APP_DATABASE_URI = "mysql+pymysql://DBusername:DBpassword@localhost/DBname"
```
The rest of the file is left at the default values
Once you are done making the changes, save and close the file
##### Client related files
We will need the following folders from the client
```
locale (all of the files inside)
res
|_BrickModels
|_brickprimitives
|_textures
|_ui
|_brickdb.zip
```
Put the two folders in `~/NexusDashboard/app/luclient`
Unzip the `brickdb.zip` in place
`unzip brickdb.zip`
Remove the `.zip` after you have unzipped it
`rm brickdb.zip`
In the `luclient` directory you should now have a file structure that looks like this
```
local
|_locale.xml
res
|_BrickModels
|_...
|_brickprimitives
|_...
|_textures
|_...
|_ui
|_...
|_Assemblies
|_...
|_Primitives
|_...
|_Materials.xml
|_info.xml
```
We will also need to copy the `CDServer.sqlite` database file from the server to the `~/NexusDashboard/app/luclient/res` folder
Once the file is moved over, you will need to rename it to `cdclient.sqlite`
`mv ~/NexusDashboard/app/luclient/res/CDServer.sqlite ~/NexusDashboard/app/luclient/res/cdclient.sqlite`
##### Remaining Setup
Run the following commands one at a time
`cd ~/NexusDashboard`
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
`pip install gunicorn`
`flask db upgrade`
##### Running the site
You can run the site with
`gunicorn -b :8000 -w 4 wsgi:app`
