<p>For Ubuntu, be sure to have enable universe repository.</p>
<p>Install packages:</p>
<div class="code sh highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>sudo apt-get install git build-essential libxslt-dev python-dev python-virtualenv python-pybabel zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Install searx:</p>
<div class="code sh highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>cd /usr/local
sudo git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
sudo useradd searx -d /usr/local/searx
sudo chown searx:searx -R /usr/local/searx
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Install dependencies in a virtualenv:</p>
<div class="code sh highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>sudo -u searx -i
cd /usr/local/searx
virtualenv searx-ve
. ./searx-ve/bin/activate
./manage.sh update_packages
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="configuration">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Configuration</a><a class="headerlink" href="#configuration" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<div class="code sh highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>sed -i -e &quot;s/ultrasecretkey/`openssl rand -hex 16`/g&quot; searx/settings.yml
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Edit searx/settings.yml if necessary.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="check">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Check</a><a class="headerlink" href="#check" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Start searx:</p>
<div class="code sh highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>python searx/webapp.py
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Go to <a class="reference external" href="http://localhost:8888">http://localhost:8888</a></p>
<p>If everything works fine, disable the debug option in settings.yml:</p>
<div class="code sh highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>sed -i -e &quot;s/debug : True/debug : False/g&quot; searx/settings.yml
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>At this point searx is not demonized ; uwsgi allows this.</p>
<p>You can exit the virtualenv and the searx user bash (enter exit command
twice).</p>
