Instructions for installing and running AnkiServer:
1. First, you need to install "virtualenv". If your system has easy_install, this is
just a matter of:
$ easy_install virtualenv
If your system doesn't have easy_install, I recommend getting it!
2. Next, you need to create a Python environment for running AnkiServer and install some of
the dependencies we need there:
$ virtualenv AnkiServer.env
$ AnkiServer.env/bin/easy_install webob PasteDeploy PasteScript sqlalchemy simplejson MySQL-python
3. Download and install libanki. You can find the latest release of Anki here:
http://code.google.com/p/anki/downloads/list
Look for a *.tgz file with a Summary of "Anki Source". At the time of this writing
that is anki-1.0.1.tgz.
Download this file and extract. Inside you will find a libanki/ directory with a
setup.py. You will want to run setup.py with the python executable inside our virtualenv,
or AnkiServer.env/bin/python, like so:
anki-1.0.1/libanki$ ../../AnkiServer.env/bin/python setup.py install
4. Make the egg info files (so paster can see our app):
$ AnkiServer.env/bin/python setup.py egg_info
5. Then we can run AnkiServer like so:
$ AnkiServer.env/bin/paster serve development.ini
