2.1. Python Package Index¶
You can install privacyidea on usually any Linux distribution in a python virtual environment. This way you keep all privacyIDEA code in one defined subdirectory.
Note
privacyIDEA depends on python 2.7 to run properly.
You first need to install some development packages. E.g. on debian based distributions the packages are called
- libjpeg-dev
- libz-dev
- python-dev
- libffi-dev
- libssl-dev
- libxslt1-dev
Now you can install privacyIDEA 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
To achieve a deterministic installation, you can now pin the installed versions to our tested versions like this:
pip install -r lib/privacyidea/requirements.txt
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 create_enckey
pi-manage create_audit_keys
Create the database and the first administrator:
pi-manage createdb
pi-manage admin add admin -e admin@localhost
Now you can run the server for your first test:
pi-manage runserver
Stamp the database, so that privacyIDEA has the right database schema version. This is important for later update processes:
pi-manage db stamp head -d /opt/privacyidea/lib/privacyidea/migrations
Depending on the database you want to use, you may have to install additional packages.
