notifications: improve response time when number of notifications is large
NotificationsController always retrieved materialized list of all notifications
in database, even to display only 10 of them. This is improved by feeding
SQLAlchemy Query object directly to webhelpers.paginate.Page, avoiding eager
load of all notifications.

.. _installation: ========================== Installation on Unix/Linux ========================== The following describes three different ways of installing Kallithea: - :ref:`installation-source`: The simplest way to keep the installation up-to-date and track any local customizations is to run directly from source in a Kallithea repository clone, preferably inside a virtualenv virtual Python environment. - :ref:`installation-virtualenv`: If you prefer to only use released versions of Kallithea, the recommended method is to install Kallithea in a virtual Python environment using `virtualenv`. The advantages of this method over direct installation is that Kallithea and its dependencies are completely contained inside the virtualenv (which also means you can have multiple installations side by side or remove it entirely by just removing the virtualenv directory) and does not require root privileges. - :ref:`installation-without-virtualenv`: The alternative method of installing a Kallithea release is using standard pip. The package will be installed in the same location as all other Python packages you have ever installed. As a result, removing it is not as straightforward as with a virtualenv, as you'd have to remove its dependencies manually and make sure that they are not needed by other packages. .. _installation-source: Installation from repository source ----------------------------------- To install Kallithea in a virtualenv_ using the stable branch of the development repository, follow the instructions below:: hg clone https://kallithea-scm.org/repos/kallithea -u stable cd kallithea virtualenv ../kallithea-venv source ../kallithea-venv/bin/activate pip install --upgrade pip setuptools pip install -e . python2 setup.py compile_catalog # for translation of the UI You can now proceed to :ref:`setup`. .. _installation-virtualenv: Installing a released version in a virtualenv --------------------------------------------- It is highly recommended to use a separate virtualenv_ for installing Kallithea. This way, all libraries required by Kallithea will be installed separately from your main Python installation and other applications and things will be less problematic when upgrading the system or Kallithea. An additional benefit of virtualenv_ is that it doesn't require root privileges. - Assuming you have installed virtualenv_, create a new virtual environment for example, in `/srv/kallithea/venv`, using the virtualenv command:: virtualenv /srv/kallithea/venv - Activate the virtualenv_ in your current shell session and make sure the basic requirements are up-to-date by running:: source /srv/kallithea/venv/bin/activate pip install --upgrade pip setuptools .. note:: You can't use UNIX ``sudo`` to source the ``virtualenv`` script; it will "activate" a shell that terminates immediately. It is also perfectly acceptable (and desirable) to create a virtualenv as a normal user. .. note:: Some dependencies are optional. If you need them, install them in the virtualenv too:: pip install psycopg2 pip install python-ldap This might require installation of development packages using your distribution's package manager. - Make a folder for Kallithea data files, and configuration somewhere on the filesystem. For example:: mkdir /srv/kallithea - Go into the created directory and run this command to install Kallithea:: pip install kallithea Alternatively, download a .tar.gz from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Kallithea, extract it and run:: pip install . - This will install Kallithea together with pylons_ and all other required python libraries into the activated virtualenv. You can now proceed to :ref:`setup`. .. _installation-without-virtualenv: Installing a released version without virtualenv ------------------------------------------------ For installation without virtualenv, 'just' use:: pip install kallithea Note that this method requires root privileges and will install packages globally without using the system's package manager. To install as a regular user in ``~/.local``, you can use:: pip install --user kallithea You can now proceed to :ref:`setup`. .. _virtualenv: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv .. _pylons: http://www.pylonsproject.org/
