Basic Development Instructions
After you've cloned the repository, traverse into the maloja folder with cd maloja.
Your system needs several packages installed. On Alpine, this can be done with
sh ./install/install_dependencies.sh
For other distros, try to find the equivalents of the packages listed or simply check your error output.
Then install all Python dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt. To avoid cluttering your system, consider using a virtual environment.
Running the server
For development, you might not want to install maloja files all over your filesystem. Use the environment variable MALOJA_DATA_DIRECTORY to force all user files into one central directory - this way, you can also quickly change between multiple configurations.
You can quickly run the server with all your local changes with python3 -m maloja run.
You can also build the package with pip install ..
