1. Install python3 and mariadb. If you're installing on Windows, make sure to check "Add Python to PATH" during Python installation.

2. Install the requirements, using pip:

# pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt

If this doesn't work, try using pip instead. If it still doesn't work, you might have to install an additional package (for example, python-pip on Arch Linux).

3. Copy the app/config.sample.json file to app/config.json.

4. Fill in the app/config.json file.

5. Run python3 app/setup.py and follow the on-screen prompts.

6. Open the MySQL prompt (using the mysql command) and type in the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE `fedibooks`;
CREATE USER 'myuser' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT USAGE ON *.* TO 'myuser'@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
GRANT ALL privileges ON `fedibooks`.* TO 'myuser'@localhost;
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

where fedibooks is your database name, myuser is your database username and mypassword is your database user's password.

7. Run

# mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASE < db/setup.sql

where USERNAME is your database username and DATABASE is your database name.

8. Run ./run.sh to start FediBooks.
