System Requirements

• Python3.4
• pip3
• PostgreSQL
• InfluxDB
• RabbitMQ

Database Setup

We are using PostgreSQL for database. To install and setup use following instructions https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

For Ubuntu 16.04

Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list, and add a line for the repository::

deb http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt/ xenial-pgdg main

Import the repository signing key, and update the package lists::

$ wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update

Now install::

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.4

Time Series Database

We are using InfluxDB to store time-series data. Follow the instructions here to setup database: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v1.2/introduction/installation/

RabbitMQ

RabbitMQ is being used as MQTT broker and Celery backend.

$ export RABBITMQ_VERSION=3.6.12
$ export RABBITMQ_GITHUB_TAG=rabbitmq_v3_6_12
$ export RABBITMQ_DEBIAN_VERSION=3.6.12-1
$ sudo apt-get install -y  erlang-asn1 erlang-crypto erlang-eldap erlang-inets erlang-mnesia erlang-nox erlang-os-mon erlang-public-key erlang-ssl erlang-xmerl socat
$ sudo wget -O rabbitmq-server.deb.asc "https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/download/$RABBITMQ_GITHUB_TAG/rabbitmq-server_${RABBITMQ_DEBIAN_VERSION}_all.deb.asc"
$ sudo wget -O rabbitmq-server.deb     "https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server/releases/download/$RABBITMQ_GITHUB_TAG/rabbitmq-server_${RABBITMQ_DEBIAN_VERSION}_all.deb"
$ sudo dpkg -i rabbitmq-server.deb
$ sudo rm -f rabbitmq-server.deb*

App Setup

For python application development we recommend to use of virtual environment.

Install python requirements::

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ pip3 install -r requirements_dev.txt
