2.1. Python Package Index

You can install privacyidea on usually any Linux distribution in a python virtual environment like this:

virtualenv /opt/privacyidea

cd /opt/privacyidea
source bin/activate

Now you are within the python virtual environment. Within the environment you can now run:

pip install privacyidea

Please see the section The Config File for a quick setup of your configuration.

Then create the encryption key and the signing keys:

pi-manage.py create_enckey
pi-manage.py create_signkey

Create the database and the first administrator:

pi-manage.py createdb
pi-manage.py admin add admin admin@localhost

Now you can run the server for your first test:

pi-manage.py runserver

Depending on the database you want to use, you may have to install additional packages.
