python-pyinotify - For a system wide installation you may choose a directory like "/opt/pas".
Guide for Windows based systems
- Install Python 3 using the MSI package from python.org. Activate the features "Utility Scripts" and "Add python.exe to Path".
- In the Python installation directory under "Scripts" you will find the "pip.exe" application. Using the command line you can install SQLAlchemy and CherryPy.
Scripts\pip.exe install sqlalchemy
Scripts\pip.exe install cherrypy
Configuration guide
Three configuration files are relevant. "pas_database.json" contains information for the database to be used. "pas_http.json" configures the HTTP and "pas_upnp.json" configures the UPnP server.- To use PostgreSQL for the MediaProvider software you must provide the URL. With this change you can set "pas_database_threaded" to "true" or comment it out. These settings must be done before running the "DbTool".
- If you encounter problems with the HTTP- and / or UPnP server you may set some configuration values like the listener address and port. This can be done in "pas_upnp.json".
