-**This installation guide is deprecated and might be out
-of date! It is recommended that you deploy using
-[Docker](https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru/blob/master/INSTALL.md)
-instead.**
-
-This guide assumes Arch Linux. Although exact instructions for other
-distributions are different, the steps stay roughly the same.
-
-### Installing hard dependencies
-
-Szurubooru requires the following dependencies:
-- Python (3.5 or later)
-- Postgres
-- FFmpeg
-- node.js
-
-```console
-user@host:~$ sudo pacman -S postgresql
-user@host:~$ sudo pacman -S python
-user@host:~$ sudo pacman -S python-pip
-user@host:~$ sudo pacman -S ffmpeg
-user@host:~$ sudo pacman -S npm
-user@host:~$ sudo pacman -S elasticsearch
-user@host:~$ sudo pip install virtualenv
-user@host:~$ python --version
-Python 3.5.1
-```
-
-The reason `ffmpeg` is used over, say, `ImageMagick` or even `PIL` is because of
-Flash and video posts.
-
-
-
-### Setting up a database
-
-First, basic `postgres` configuration:
-
-```console
-user@host:~$ sudo -i -u postgres initdb --locale en_US.UTF-8 -E UTF8 -D /var/lib/postgres/data
-user@host:~$ sudo systemctl start postgresql
-user@host:~$ sudo systemctl enable postgresql
-```
-
-Then creating a database:
-
-```console
-user@host:~$ sudo -i -u postgres createuser --interactive
-Enter name of role to add: szuru
-Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
-Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
-Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
-user@host:~$ sudo -i -u postgres createdb szuru
-user@host:~$ sudo -i -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER szuru PASSWORD 'dog';"
-```
-
-
-
-### Setting up elasticsearch
-
-```console
-user@host:~$ sudo systemctl start elasticsearch
-user@host:~$ sudo systemctl enable elasticsearch
-```
-
-### Preparing environment
-
-Getting `szurubooru`:
-
-```console
-user@host:~$ git clone https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru.git szuru
-user@host:~$ cd szuru
-```
-
-Installing frontend dependencies:
-
-```console
-user@host:szuru$ cd client
-user@host:szuru/client$ npm install
-```
-
-`npm` sandboxes dependencies by default, i.e. installs them to
-`./node_modules`. This is good, because it avoids polluting the system with the
-project's dependencies. To make Python work the same way, we'll use
-`virtualenv`. Installing backend dependencies with `virtualenv` looks like
-this:
-
-```console
-user@host:szuru/client$ cd ../server
-user@host:szuru/server$ virtualenv python_modules # consistent with node_modules
-user@host:szuru/server$ source python_modules/bin/activate # enters the sandbox
-(python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ pip install -r requirements.txt # installs the dependencies
-```
-
-
-
-### Preparing `szurubooru` for first run
-
-1. Compile the frontend:
-
- ```console
- user@host:szuru$ cd client
- user@host:szuru/client$ node build.js
- ```
-
- You can include the flags `--no-transpile` to disable the JavaScript
- transpiler, which provides compatibility with older browsers, and
- `--debug` to generate JS source mappings.
-
-2. Configure things:
-
- ```console
- user@host:szuru/client$ cd ..
- user@host:szuru$ mv server/config.yaml.dist .
- user@host:szuru$ cp config.yaml.dist config.yaml
- user@host:szuru$ vim config.yaml
- ```
-
- Pay extra attention to these fields:
-
- - data directory,
- - data URL,
- - database,
- - the `smtp` section.
-
-3. Upgrade the database:
-
- ```console
- user@host:szuru/client$ cd ../server
- user@host:szuru/server$ source python_modules/bin/activate
- (python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ alembic upgrade head
- ```
-
- `alembic` should have been installed during installation of `szurubooru`'s
- dependencies.
-
-4. Run the tests:
-
- ```console
- (python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ pytest
- ```
-
-It is recommended to rebuild the frontend after each change to configuration.
-
-
-
-### Wiring `szurubooru` to the web server
-
-`szurubooru` is divided into two parts: public static files, and the API. It
-tries not to impose any networking configurations on the user, so it is the
-user's responsibility to wire these to their web server.
-
-The static files are located in the `client/public/data` directory and are
-meant to be exposed directly to the end users.
-
-The API should be exposed using WSGI server such as `waitress`, `gunicorn` or
-similar. Other configurations might be possible but I didn't pursue them.
-
-API calls are made to the relative URL `/api/`. Your HTTP server should be
-configured to proxy this URL format to the WSGI server. Some users may prefer
-to use a dedicated reverse proxy for this, to incorporate additional features
-such as load balancing and SSL.
-
-Note that the API URL in the virtual host configuration needs to be the same as
-the one in the `config.yaml`, so that client knows how to access the backend!
-
-#### Example
-
-In this example:
-
-- The booru is accessed from `http://example.com/`
-- The API is accessed from `http://example.com/api`
-- The API server listens locally on port 6666, and is proxied by nginx
-- The static files are served from `/srv/www/booru/client/public/data`
-
-**nginx configuration**:
-
-```nginx
-server {
- listen 80;
- server_name example.com;
-
- location ~ ^/api$ {
- return 302 /api/;
- }
- location ~ ^/api/(.*)$ {
- if ($request_uri ~* "/api/(.*)") { # preserve PATH_INFO as-is
- proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6666/$1;
- }
- }
- location / {
- root /srv/www/booru/client/public;
- try_files $uri /index.htm;
- }
-}
-```
-
-**`config.yaml`**:
-
-```yaml
-data_url: 'http://example.com/data/'
-data_dir: '/srv/www/booru/client/public/data'
-```
-
-To run the server using `waitress`:
-
-```console
-user@host:szuru/server$ source python_modules/bin/activate
-(python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ pip install waitress
-(python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ waitress-serve --port 6666 szurubooru.facade:app
-```
-
-or `gunicorn`:
-
-```console
-user@host:szuru/server$ source python_modules/bin/activate
-(python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ pip install gunicorn
-(python_modules) user@host:szuru/server$ gunicorn szurubooru.facade:app -b 127.0.0.1:6666
-```
