Installation

Path variables used below: - $INSTALL_FOLDER (i.e. where CKAN is installed), e.g. /usr/lib/ckan/default - $CONFIG_FILE, e.g. /etc/ckan/default/development.ini

Pre-install setup

This package depends on ckanext-dcat==1.3.0, but since that isn't available on PyPI it's not listed in the package dependencies.

Install it with:

pip install git+https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-dcat@v1.3.0#egg=ckanext-dcat

Installing from PyPI

pip install ckanext-nhm

Installing from source

1. Clone the repository into the src folder:

   cd $INSTALL_FOLDER/src
   git clone https://github.com/NaturalHistoryMuseum/ckanext-nhm.git
   

2. Activate the virtual env:

   . $INSTALL_FOLDER/bin/activate
   

3. Install via pip:

   pip install $INSTALL_FOLDER/src/ckanext-nhm
   

Installing in editable mode

Installing from a pyproject.toml in editable mode (i.e. pip install -e) requires setuptools>=64; however, CKAN 2.9 requires setuptools==44.1.0. See our CKAN fork for a version of v2.9 that uses an updated setuptools if this functionality is something you need.

Post-install setup

1. Add 'nhm' to the list of plugins in your $CONFIG_FILE:

   ckan.plugins = ... nhm
   

2. Install lessc globally:

   npm install -g "less@~4.1"
