Simplify installation #46

Open ravidreams opened 8 years ago

ravidreams commented 8 years ago

As we intend to crowdsource the computational resources needed for bulk upload, I feel the installation process needs to be simplified.

@selvan suggests tools like https://www.docker.com/ can be used to create one step installation.

tshrinivasan commented 8 years ago

The setup takes time when we want people to use their own gmail drive account for OCR.

To simplify this, will create a gmail account, setup for api, and share the credentials.json.

people can use it directly to gdauth and proceed with do_ocr.py.

Is it okey?

Docker is good, but not for beginners.

ravidreams commented 8 years ago

Sounds better. Any way to club all sudo install commands like how gdcmdtools is installed in one command?

tshrinivasan commented 8 years ago

Yes.

Will create a single install script that takes care of all.

tshrinivasan commented 8 years ago

At 1.48, added a setup.sh

Check INSTALL file for instructions.

Sudo apt-get update Sudo apt-get install pip

should also be added. New users face a problem if they don't do this. Is python available by default? Else, it should also be added.
