.. note:: Some dependencies are optional. If you need them, install them in

   the virtualenv too::

     pip install psycopg2

     pip install python-ldap

   This might require installation of development packages using your

   distribution's package manager.

- Make a folder for Kallithea data files, and configuration somewhere on the

  filesystem. For example::

    mkdir /srv/kallithea

- Go into the created directory and run this command to install Kallithea::

    pip install kallithea

  Alternatively, download a .tar.gz from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Kallithea,

  extract it and run::

    pip install .

You can now proceed to :ref:`setup`.

.. _installation-without-virtualenv:

Installing a released version without virtualenv

------------------------------------------------

For installation without virtualenv, 'just' use::

    pip install kallithea

Note that this method requires root privileges and will install packages

globally without using the system's package manager.

To install as a regular user in ``~/.local``, you can use::

    pip install --user kallithea

You can now proceed to :ref:`setup`.

.. _virtualenv: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

  Nginx_, Varnish_ and HAProxy_ are often used for this purpose, often in front

  of a ``paster`` server that somehow is wrapped as a service.

The best option depends on what you are familiar with and the requirements for

performance and stability. Also, keep in mind that Kallithea mainly is serving

dynamically generated pages from a relatively slow Python process. Kallithea is

also often used inside organizations with a limited amount of users and thus no

continuous hammering from the internet.

Apache virtual host reverse proxy example

-----------------------------------------

Here is a sample configuration file for Apache using proxy:

.. code-block:: apache

    <VirtualHost *:80>

            ServerName kallithea.example.com

            <Proxy *>

              # For Apache 2.4 and later:

              Require all granted

              # For Apache 2.2 and earlier, instead use:

              # Order allow,deny

              # Allow from all

            </Proxy>

            #important !

            ProxyPreserveHost On

            #kallithea instance

            ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/

            ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/

            #to enable https use line below

            #SetEnvIf X-Url-Scheme https HTTPS=1

    </VirtualHost>
