Missing package errors when starting the REST API service

[flavianojs]

I installed the aiida-restapi package in a new python virtual environment. Then, I tried to start the REST API with uvicorn aiida_restapi:app command. I got the following error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jose'

I installed manually this module with pip install python-jose. The next error was:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'passlib'

which I solved with pip install passlib.

The final error was:

RuntimeError: Form data requires "python-multipart" to be installed.

solved with pip install python-multipart. Then finally it worked.

This happens when not installing the auth extra - currently, the auth extra is necessary to run the REST API.

In order to install the REST API in editable mode with the auth extra, use

pip install -e .[auth]

Thanks, @ltalirz !
